JOHN CLINT DRAPER,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

vs.

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

Defendant.

11

D. ROSARIO,

14

/

15

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

16
17

U.S.C. § 1983. He claims that a current lockdown at his institution is interfering with his ability

18

to comply with the court’s discovery and scheduling order, and therefore requests a court order

19

to allow him access to the law library. An exhibit attached to plaintiff’s request indicates that

20

inmates are allowed library access if they have “approved court deadlines.” Dckt. No. 61, Ex. A.

21

The discovery and scheduling order requires that all written discovery be served not later than

22

August 6, 2012, and that any motions to compel be filed by October 6, 2012. Dckt. No. 56.

23

Plaintiff does not state whether he properly informed the appropriate prison officials of those

24

deadlines. Nor does he otherwise demonstrate that his right of access to the courts is being

25

impaired.
