No. 2:10-cv-0032 KJM EFB P

ORDER

vs.
D. ROSARIO,

/

16

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42

17

U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has filed a “notice of motion for deposition and discovery” with the

18

court, wherein, he requests that the court order the Attorney General’s Office and the California

19

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide him with information regarding this

20

case. Dckt. No. 59. Plaintiff is hereby informed that he may obtain the information he seeks by

21

properly serving discovery requests on defendants, and his request for court assistance at this

22

time appears to be both unnecessary and premature. Pursuant to this court’s local rules,

23

interrogatories, requests for production, requests for admission, and responses thereto “shall not

24

be filed with the clerk” unless there is a proceeding that puts the discovery request or response at

25

issue. See E.D. Cal. Local Rules 250.2-250.4. As it appears that plaintiff has not even served

26

his discovery requests on defendants, there is no discovery request or response at issue.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s June 25, 2012 request, Dckt.

No. 59, is denied.
