U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has filed a “motion for discovery” with the court. Dckt. No. 15.

18

Plaintiff is hereby informed that he must serve his discovery requests on a defendant

19

rather than filing them with the court. Pursuant to this court’s local rules, interrogatories,

20

requests for production, requests for admission, and responses thereto “shall not be filed with the

21

clerk” unless there is a proceeding that puts the discovery request or response at issue. See E.D.

22

Cal. Local Rules 250.2-250.4. Further, when a discovery request or response is at issue, only the

23

part of the request or response at issue “shall be filed.” Id.

So ordered.
