ORDER
Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to
42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion to compel (Doc 51).
19
In his one-page motion, plaintiff states: “Plaintiff hereby request the court to
20
enforce Agboli to furnish production of documents. . . .” The majority of plaintiff’s argument
21
concerns discovery responses provided by defendant Agboli. In the last sentence of his motion,
22
plaintiff adds: “I further request this court to enforce the rest of the defendants to answer these
23
interrogatories and production of documents. They objected each one by stating objection fails to
24
comply with Rule 36(a)(, 34(c). . . .”

Plaintiff’s motion is procedurally defective because it fails to include a
2
“certification that the movant has in good faith conferred or attempted to confer with the person
3
or party failing to make disclosure or discovery in an effort to obtain it without court action.”
4
Fed. R. Civ. P. 36(a)(1).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion to compel (Doc.
51) is denied.
