Plaintiff,

vs.

No. 2:10-cv-1222 KJN P

F. HSEUH, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER
/

15

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in this civil rights action

16
17

for relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On December 2, 2011, plaintiff filed a response to

18

defendant Hseuh’s answer. However, as plaintiff was informed by this court’s March 20, 2011

19

order, Rule 7 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure does not provide for a reply or response to a

20

defendant’s answer unless ordered by the court. (Dkt. No. 34.) The court did not order plaintiff

21

to file a response to defendant Hseuh’s answer; therefore, the response is disregarded.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s December 2, 2011

22
23

response (dkt. no. 68) is disregarded.

24

DATED: December 13, 2011
