17
18

Documents.” ECF No. 106. Plaintiff is informed that discovery will not begin until the court

19

issues a discovery and scheduling order. Once discovery begins, court permission is not

20

necessary for discovery requests and neither discovery requests served on an opposing party nor

21

that party’s responses should be filed unless they are being used to support or oppose a motion.

22

“[T]he following discovery requests and responses must not be filed until they are used in the

23

proceeding or the court orders filing: depositions, interrogatories, requests for documents or

24

tangible things or to permit entry onto land, and requests for admission.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(d)(1).
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s August 31, 2016 request (ECF

25
26

No. 106) will be stricken from the record. Plaintiff is cautioned that he should not file any further

27

discovery requests or responses to discovery requests unless they are being used to support or
