Plaintiff has filed a document entitled “request for production of documents.” Plaintiff

requests that defendants provide him with copies of his psychiatric records from September 26,

19

2013 to the present.

20

Plaintiff is informed that court permission is not necessary for discovery requests and that

21

neither discovery requests served on an opposing party nor that party’s responses should be filed

22

until such time as a party becomes dissatisfied with a response and seeks relief from the court

23

pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Discovery requests between the parties shall

24

not be filed with the court unless, and until, they are at issue.

25

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s request for production of

26

documents (ECF No. 140) will be placed in the court file and disregarded. Plaintiff is cautioned

27

that further filing of discovery requests or responses, except as required by rule of court, may

result in an order of sanctions, including, but not limited to, a recommendation that this action be

dismissed.
