Case No. 20-cv-04368-HSG
ORDER REGARDING FILING OF
DISCOVERY REQUESTS
Re: Dkt. No. 23

M. MCGALLON, et al.,
Defendants.

12
13

Plaintiff, an inmate at Correctional Training Facility (“CTF”), has filed a pro se action

14

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff recently filed with the Court his requests for admissions

15

directed at Defendants. Dkt. No. 23. Plaintiff should not file his discovery requests or responses

16

with the Court. Discovery requests and responses normally are exchanged between the parties

17

without any copy sent to the court. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(d) (listing discovery requests and

18

responses that “must not” be filed with the court until they are used in the proceeding or the court

19

orders otherwise). The Court generally is not involved in the discovery process and only becomes

20

involved when there is a dispute between the parties about discovery responses that they cannot

21

resolve themselves.
