Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES OF
SOLANO COUNTY, et al.,
Defendants.

On September 2, 2016, plaintiff filed a request for production of documents with the
17

court.1 ECF No. 24. Plaintiff is hereby informed that he must serve discovery documents on a

18
defendant rather than filing them with the court. Pursuant to this court’s local rules,
19
interrogatories, requests for production, requests for admission, and responses thereto “shall not
20
be filed with the clerk” unless there is a proceeding that puts the discovery request or response at
21
issue. See E.D. Cal. Local Rules 250.2-250.4. Further, when a discovery request or response is at
22
issue, only the part of the request or response at issue “shall be filed.” Id. At this time, there is
23
no proceeding before the court that requires plaintiff’s request for production for its resolution.
24
Plaintiff may serve discovery requests on a defendant in accordance with the court’s discovery
25
and scheduling order.
