Case No. 2:21-cv-00531-TLN-JDP (PC)
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION
FOR DISCOVERY

v.
ECF No. 32
D. HURTADO, et al.,

14

Defendants.

15
Plaintiff has filed a document in which he requests that defendants produce documents

16
17

and respond to interrogatories. ECF No. 32.
Discovery requests shall be filed with the court only if they are at issue. See E.D. Cal.

18
19

L.R. 250.2-250.4. Currently, there is no court proceeding that requires review of plaintiff’s

20

discovery requests. To the extent that plaintiff intended to serve defendants with his discovery

21

request by filing them with the court, that approach is improper. Plaintiff must instead serve his

22

discovery requests on defendants. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 30-36. Accordingly, it is hereby

23

ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for discovery, ECF No. 32, is denied.

24
IT IS SO ORDERED.
