In two prior motions, plaintiff James Alan Bush sought orders, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.

18

P. 26(b)(3)(C), compelling the County Public Defender’s Office to produce statements that it

19

reportedly made about the instant lawsuit. On February 22, 2012, this court denied plaintiff’s

20

request (Dkt. No. 184). Now, plaintiff has filed a third request seeking the same relief, albeit he

21

has styled his request as a discovery report this time.1 Plaintiff’s third request is denied for the

22

reasons stated in this court’s February 22, 2012 order. To the extent plaintiff might be seeking

23

expedited discovery pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(d)(1), this court does not find good cause to

24

permit it.
Additionally, plaintiff is advised that if he persists in filing repetitive motions for the

The matter is deemed suitable for determination without oral argument, and
plaintiff’s request for a hearing is denied. Civ. L.R. 7-1(b).
