The Court is in receipt of two filings from Plaintiff Harril Glen Scott: (1) a Motion

19

Requesting Production of Documents and Things (dkt. 34) and (2) a Motion Requesting a 90

20

Day Extension of Time to Complete Discovery (dkt. 40). Defendant Pfizer has filed a notice

21

of non-opposition to both filings (dkt. 41).

22
23

Good cause appearing therefor, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s Motion for an
Extension of Time; Plaintiff has until October 25, 2012 to provide the required evidence.

24

However, the Court DENIES Plaintiff’s Motion Requesting Production. That Motion

25

appears to seek Plaintiff’s medical records from various entities. Plaintiff likely already has

26

the right to his own medical records, and should be able to request them from those entities

27

directly. To the extent that court intervention is required, Plaintiff should seek subpoenas

28

//

from courts in the proper jurisdiction(s).
