(Dkt. No. 57)
17
18
Plaintiff James Eusse, Jr. (“Plaintiff”), a California prisoner proceeding pro se and
19
20
in forma pauperis, commenced this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on
21
April 16, 2013. (Dkt. No. 1.) Before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion to compel
22
discovery. He seeks further responses to his Second and Third Requests for Production
23
of Documents. For the reasons explained below, the Court GRANTS IN PART and
24
DENIES IN PART Plaintiff’s motion. (Dkt. No. 57.)

I.
RELEVANT BACKGROUND
A. Summary of Factual Allegations
Plaintiff’s surviving claims allege that Defendants Vitela and Whitman retaliated
1
3:13-cv-00916-BEN-NLS
1
against him for exercising his First Amendment rights while he was incarcerated at
2
Centinela State Prison. (Dkt. No. 41 at 9.) According to allegations in Plaintiff’s Second
3
Amended Complaint, on April 6, 2011, Defendant Vitela escorted Plaintiff to a holding
4
cage. After strip searching Plaintiff and removing Plaintiff from the cage, Defendant
5
Vitela allegedly planted an inmate manufactured weapon in the cage. (Dkt. No. 25 at 5, ¶
6
20.) Plaintiff alleges that Vitela then made a false “114-D” lock-up order and a “115”
7
report, and perjured himself at Plaintiff’s trial. (Id. at 6, ¶ 22.) The alleged retaliation
8
caused Plaintiff to fear further retaliation and kept him from pursuing his claims. (Id. at 5,
9
¶ 18.)
10
The Second Amended Complaint also details an incident with Defendant Whitman,
11
in which Plaintiff disputed the time he would receive in the segregated housing unit for
12
the contraband weapon charge. (See id. at 6, ¶ 29.) Plaintiff believed the time spent
13
should have been only seven months, but his 128G form indicated it would be ten
14
months. (Id. at 6, ¶ 30.) Plaintiff alleges Defendant Whitman was part of the
15
Institutional Classification Committee (“ICC”). (Id. at 6, ¶ 29.) Defendant Whitman
16
allegedly told Plaintiff he “would do the full ten months and then some and that “Plaintiff
17
should learn to keep his mouth shut.” (Id. at 7, ¶ 32.) When Plaintiff asked for the 128G
18
forms back, he alleges Defendant Whitman said “No, I’m going to keep them [because]
19
you just caught your 3 friends an extra 2 months 15 days and I’m going to tell them that
20
it’s [because] of you that they’re getting the extra time.” (Id. at 7, ¶ 33.)
B. Procedural Background To The Parties’ Discovery Dispute
21
22
On April 20, 2015, Plaintiff served Defendants with his Second Set of Requests for
23
Production of Documents (“RFP Set 2”). Defendants served their initial responses and
24
objections to Plaintiff’s RFP Set 2 on May 26, 2015. Plaintiff filed a motion to compel
25
on May 28, 2015, before he received Defendants’ responses and objections. (Dkt. No.
26
46.)
27
On June 19, 2015, Plaintiff served Defendants his Third Set of Requests for
2
3:13-cv-00916-BEN-NLS
1
Production of Documents (RFP Set 3). Defendants served their responses and objections
2
on July 16, 2015.
3
On August 4, 2015, the Court denied without prejudice Plaintiff’s motion to
4
compel further responses to RFP Set 2 without prejudice because the parties had not yet
5
met and conferred. (Dkt. No. 54.) The Court directed the parties to meet and confer, and
6
stated that to the extent the parties reached an impasse regarding their dispute, Plaintiff
7
should file his motion to compel further responses by August 31, 2015.
On August 10, 2015, the parties met and conferred regarding Plaintiff’s RFP Sets 2
8
9
and 3. Immediately following the conference, Plaintiff prepared and sent Defendants a
10
letter memorializing the parties’ meet and confer discussions. The letter set out in detail
11
the requests they discussed and Defendants’ agreements to resolve the disputes. (Dkt.
12
No. 57 at 45-46.) At the conclusion of the letter, Plaintiff asked Defendants’ counsel to
13
respond and correct him if Plaintiff was mistaken on any of the issues and resolutions he
14
memorialized in the letter. (Id.) According to Plaintiff, Defendants’ counsel never
15
corrected Plaintiff on any potential misunderstandings regarding the parties’ agreements.
16
(Dkt. No. 57 at 5.)
17
On September 9, 2015, Defendants served Plaintiff with their supplemental
18
responses to Plaintiff’s RFP Sets 2 and 3. Defendants then made their supplemental
19
production in response to RFP Set 3 on September 30, 2015.
20
On October 14, 2015, Plaintiff filed the present motion to compel further
21
responses.1 Plaintiff seeks to compel further responses to RFP Set Two Numbers 1 and
22
2, and RFP Set Three Numbers 1 through 5 on grounds that Defendants’ responses and
23
24
25
26
27
1
The parties stipulated to allow additional time for Defendants to serve supplemental responses and
production past the motion filing date, which appears to be why the motion to compel was filed after the
Court’s previously set deadline. The parties did not seek to extend the discovery dispute motion filing
deadline, as is required by the undersigned’s Chambers Rules. The Court nonetheless exercises its
discretion to address the merits of the dispute. The parties are cautioned that any future belated requests
for determinations on discovery disputes may be summarily denied if not timely filed.
3
3:13-cv-00916-BEN-NLS
1
supplemental responses are deficient. Defendants filed their response in opposition on
2
October 29, 2015, and the Court thereafter took the matter under submission. (Dkt. No.
3
59.)

LEGAL STANDARD
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(1) sets forth the discovery scope in general
as follows:
7
Parties may obtain discovery regarding any nonprivileged information that is
relevant to any party’s claim or defense and proportional to the needs of the
case, considering the importance of the issues at stake in the action, the
amount in controversy, the parties’ relative access to relevant information, the
parties’ resources, the importance of the discovery in resolving the issues, and
whether the burden or expense of the proposed discovery outweighs its likely
benefit. Information within this scope of discovery need not be admissible in
evidence to be discoverable.
8
9
10
11
12
13
Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1). The party seeking to compel discovery has the burden of
14
establishing that his request satisfies the relevancy requirements of Rule 26. Bryant v.
15
Ochoa, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 42339, 2009 WL 1390794, at *1 (S.D. Cal. May 14,
16
2009). Once the party seeking discovery has established that his request meets this
17
relevancy requirement, “the party opposing discovery has the burden of showing that the
18
discovery should be prohibited, and the burden of clarifying, explaining or supporting its
19
objections.” Id.
20 III.

22
DISCUSSION
A. The Parties’ Meet and Confer Agreements
At the outset, the Court notes its concerns that Defendants, through their counsel,
23
agreed to supplement their responses in many respects during the parties’ meet and
24
confer discussions, and yet they did not do so. Plaintiff’s letter memorializing the
25
parties’ meet and confer discussions contains specific descriptions of the parties’ agreed
26
upon resolutions to the disputes. (Dkt. No. 57 at 45-46.) Plaintiff set forth each of the
27
disputed discovery requests, as well as his understanding of the specific ways in which
4
3:13-cv-00916-BEN-NLS
1
Defendants agreed to amend or supplement their responses. (Id.)
2
Plaintiff states that Defendants’ counsel did not correct any of the Plaintiff’s
3
statements in the letter. (Dkt. No. 57 at 5.) Defendants do not dispute this in their
4
opposition to his motion. (See Dkt No. 59, passim.) Defendants also do not dispute
5
Plaintiff’s description of their agreed upon resolutions to the discovery disputes in their
6
opposition. (Id., passim.)
Yet despite the parties’ apparent agreements, Defendants either did not search for
7
8
or did not produce certain documents to which they agreed, thus necessitating the present
9
discovery motion.2 Consequently, the Court reminds Defendants and their counsel of
10
their responsibility to engage in meaningful meet and confer efforts to resolve these
11
disputes.
“The obvious purpose of the Court’s meet and confer requirement is to ensure the
12
13
parties engage in a good faith, meaningful dialogue … in [an] effort to first resolve the
14
particular disputes without the need for judicial intervention.” Richardson v. Fluor
15
Corp., 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 15131, *18 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 5, 2014). This process, when
16
successful, “obviates the need for unnecessary motion practice, which, in turn, conserves
17
both the Court’s and the parties’ resources.” Id.; see also Raifman v. Wachovia Sec.,
18
2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 33388, *4 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 11, 2013) (“‘The purpose of the [meet
19
and confer] requirement is to . . . resolve disputes which need not involve the Court, and
20
avoid unnecessary litigation, thus saving the parties’, the Court’s, and the taxpayers’
21
limited time, money, and resources.’”) (citation omitted). Furthermore, “to serve its
22
purpose, parties must ‘treat the informal negotiation process as a substitute for, and not
23
simply a formal prerequisite to, judicial review of discovery disputes.’” U-Haul Co. of
24
Nev., Inc. v. Gregory J. Kamer, Ltd., 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 132795, *4-5 (D. Nev. Sept.
25
26
27
The Court discusses each of the parties’ particular agreements, and what Defendants ended up
producing (or not) despite those agreements, in the sections below.
2
5
3:13-cv-00916-BEN-NLS
1
17, 2013) (citation omitted). Because the parties’ meet and confer efforts were not
2
completely successful, the Court turns to the substance of the parties’ dispute.
3
4
B. Plaintiff’s RFP Set Two, Numbers 1 and 2
Plaintiff’s RFP Set Two, Numbers 1 and 2 seek Defendant Vitela’s and Defendant
5
Whitman’s staff records, including disciplinary files, and complaints made by civilians,
6
state/federal employees and inmates. (See Dkt. No. 57 at 20-21.) Defendants initially
7
asserted only objections, including objections based on official information grounds with
8
a supporting privilege log and declaration, and refused to produce documents. (Dkt. No.
9
57 at 24, 25.)
10
According to Plaintiff’s letter memorializing the parties’ meet and confer
11
discussions, Defendants’ counsel stated he would amend the responses to show that the
12
Defendants do not have any disciplinary actions on file regarding similar matters to
13
Plaintiff’s complaint or any complaints made by civilians, state/federal employees and
14
inmates. (Dkt. No. 57 at 45). Defendants then supplemented their responses by
15
producing a “Declaration of No Records.” The declaration is dated December 9, 2013,
16
and states the Department of Corrections at Calipatria State Prison “does not have any
17
disciplinary records described in the Civil Case [and cites this case name and case
18
number]” for Defendants Whitman and Vitela. (Dkt. No. 57 at 18.)
19
Plaintiff contends Defendants’ supplemental responses are inadequate and
20
incomplete because the declaration is two years old, and because Defendants did not
21
respond to Plaintiff’s request to the extent it sought all complaints against the Defendants
22
that were made by civilians, state and federal employees and inmates. (Dkt. No. 57 at 5.)
23
Defendants contend their responses are adequate because “there were no
24
disciplinary records concerning Defendants Vitela and Whitman as of December 9, 2013”
25
and any records that may exist after that are not relevant. (Dkt. No. 59 at 4.) They also
26
contend that, in any event, the documents are protected by the official information
27
privilege. (Id.)
6
3:13-cv-00916-BEN-NLS
1
Having reviewed the papers submitted, including a copy of the declaration of no
2
records, the Court finds that Defendants’ responses were deficient and so further
3
supplemental responses are warranted. Other disciplinary records and substantiated
4
complaints about conduct similar to that alleged in the complaint are relevant and may
5
lead to the discovery of admissible evidence that could bear on Plaintiff’s claims. See
6
e.g., Linares v. Mahunik, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 52206, at *7-10 (N.D.N.Y. July 7,
7
2008) (directing further discovery responses be provided regarding grievances and
8
complaints of retaliation in support of plaintiff's First Amendment violation allegations;
9
the information was discoverable on issues of defendant’s credibility and potential
10
impeachment, and supervisory notice (citing caselaw)); see also e.g., Garcia v. Cluck,
11
2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 172850, at *6-7 (S.D. Cal. Dec. 6, 2013) (finding that complaints
12
by inmates about conduct similar to the plaintiff’s allegations of retaliation are relevant,
13
and directing production of same).
14
Contrary to the parties’ meet and confer agreement, the declaration appears to only
15
discuss disciplinary actions on file regarding this case, and not similar matters to
16
Plaintiff’s complaint. (Dkt. No. 57 at 18.) Also contrary to the parties’ meet and confer
17
agreement, the declaration does not state it does not have on file records for similar
18
complaints made by civilians, state/federal employees and inmates. (Id.) Additionally,
19
because the declaration was executed two years ago it appears the search was not
20
conducted for the records that were requested.
21
Therefore, unless Defendants’ privilege objection should be sustained, Defendants
22
should either produce a declaration showing these records do not exist or produce
23
responsive documents if they do exist. The Court thus turns to whether Defendants’
24
objections based on the official information privilege should be sustained.
25
In section 1983 cases, federal law, not state law, applies to resolve the question of
26
privileges. See Kerr v. U.S. Dist. Court for the N. Dist. of Cal., 511 F.2d 192, 197 (9th
27
Cir. 1975), aff’d 426 U.S. 394 (1976); Bryant v. Armstrong, 285 F.R.D. 596, 604 (S.D.
7
3:13-cv-00916-BEN-NLS
1
Cal. 2012). Federal common law recognizes a qualified privilege for official
2
information. See Kerr, 511 F.2d, at 197-98. To determine whether the official
3
information privilege applies, the court must balance the interests of the party seeking
4
discovery and the interests of the government entity asserting the privilege. Soto v. City
5
of Concord, 162 F.R.D. 603, 613 (N.D. Cal. 1995). However, in the context of civil
6
rights action, “this balancing approach is moderately ‘pre-weight[ed] in favor of
7
disclosure.’” Armstrong, 285 F.R.D. at 596 (quoting Kelly v. City of San Jose, 114
8
F.R.D. 653, 661 (N.D. Cal. 1987)).
9
To trigger the Court’s balancing of interests, the party opposing disclosure must
10
make a “substantial threshold showing.” Soto, 162 F.R.D. at 613 (quoting Kelly, 114
11
F.R.D. at 669). The party opposing disclosure “must submit a declaration or affidavit
12
from a responsible official with personal knowledge of the matters to be attested to in the
13
affidavit.” Id; see also Stevenson v. Blake, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 113139, 2012 WL
14
3282892, at *2 (S.D. Cal. Aug. 10, 2012). The declaration must include: “(1) an
15
affirmation that the agency has maintained the confidentiality of the documents at issue;
16
(2) a statement that the official has personally reviewed the documents; (3) a specific
17
identification of the governmental or privacy interests that would be compromised by
18
production; (4) a description of how disclosure subject to a carefully crafted protective
19
order would create a substantial risk of harm to these interests; and (5) a projection of
20
how much harm would be done to these interests if disclosure were made.” Id., citing
21
Kelly, 114 F.R.D. at 670. If the objecting party does not meet the requirements for
22
invoking the privilege, a court will overrule the privilege objection and order full
23
disclosure. Bryant, 285 F.R.D. at 605 (citing cases).
24
Here, although Defendants provided a declaration in support of their privilege
25
objection, the declaration does not meet the procedural requirements to make a threshold
26
showing that the privilege applies. The declaration does not contain a statement that the
27
official personally reviewed the documents being requested. (Dkt. No. 57 at 33-34.) It
8
3:13-cv-00916-BEN-NLS
1
also does not explain why a well-crafted protective order would not be able to protect the
2
asserted interests. (Id.) Rather, “the declaration is general enough that it could
3
presumably be submitted, with minor modifications, in any prisoner civil rights case in
4
which the prisoner seeks access to internal investigation documents.” Stevenson, 2012
5
US Dist. Lexis 113139, 2012 WL 3282892, at *2. Defendants’ privilege objection is
6
therefore overruled.
7
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s request to compel further responses to RFP Set Two,
8
Numbers 1 and 2 is GRANTED. Defendants must produce a declaration of no records
9
that attests they searched for and did not find on file for Defendants Vitela and Whitman
10
any disciplinary records regarding similar complaints to those made by Plaintiff, and any
11
substantiated similar complaints made by civilians, state and federal employees and
12
inmates. Alternatively, if such documents are found they must be produced. The Court
13
is mindful of the potential privacy concerns of those who made the complaints in
14
question, and therefore the names and identifying information of the individuals who
15
made the complaints, as well as other officers who were not involved in the incident, may
16
be redacted. See Lamon v. Adams, 2010 WL 4513405 at *3-4 (E.D. Cal. Nov. 2, 2010)
17
(ordering redaction of inmate names before production).
18
19
C. Plaintiff’s RFP Set Three
i. RFP Set Three, Numbers 1 & 2
20
This requests seeks the job title, job description, days off and duties of Defendants
21
Vitela and Whitman from the period of December 20, 2010 through December 20, 2013.
22
According to Plaintiff’s letter memorializing the parties’ meet and confer
23
discussions, Defendants’ counsel stated he would produce the signed and dated Calipatria
24
State Prison (“CSP”) Duty Statements for Defendants Vitela and Whitman. Defendants
25
then produced job descriptions for the positions of a correctional officer and of a captain,
26
which Defendants state were the positions held by Defendants Vitela and Whitman.
27
Defendants also produced a number of other job description and duty documents.
9
3:13-cv-00916-BEN-NLS
1
Contrary to the parties’ meet and confer agreement, the CSP Duty Statements are not
2
signed and dated by the Defendants, and many of the description and duty documents
3
indicate they are dated 2014 and 2015.
4
Plaintiff argues the job descriptions that were produced are inadequate because
5
they are dated years after the alleged incidents in this case occurred, and thus the job
6
duties likely changed. He contends he needs this information to establish Defendants’
7
job descriptions and job duties at the time they committed the alleged acts against him.
8
(Dkt. No. 57 at 6.)
9
Having reviewed the parties’ positions as well as the documents produced by
10
Defendants, the Court finds Defendants must further supplement their production. The
11
Court has reviewed the job descriptions and duties Defendants produced, and Plaintiff is
12
correct that many of them are dated as late as 2014 and 2015, which is years after the
13
alleged incidents occurred. There is no indication that these documents contain the same
14
descriptions and duties as those during the time period when the alleged incidents
15
occurred.
16
Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s request to compel further responses to
17
RFP Set Three, Numbers 1 and 2. Defendants must produce, to the extent they exist, the
18
job descriptions and duties documents that applied to Defendants for the time period that
19
the acts committed against Plaintiff occurred, including Defendant Vitela’s and
20
Whitman’s signed and dated CSP Duty Statements.
21
ii. RFP Set Three, Number 3
22
Although Plaintiff’s motion is unclear, it appears he contends further production in
23
response to this request is needed. Defendants addressed this request in their opposition.
24
Accordingly, the Court discusses it in turn. This request seeks documents showing the
25
title, job description, regular days off, and duties of all staff members that were present in
26
A – Yard 5 Block, on Apr. 6, 2011 during the hours of 6:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
27
According to Plaintiff’s letter memorializing the parties’ meet and confer
10
3:13-cv-00916-BEN-NLS
1
discussions, Defendants agreed to produce the signed and dated CSP duty statements for
2
all staff members on duty that day. (Dkt. No. 57 at 46.) Defendants searched for the
3
FLSA sheets for Yard A for April 6, 2011, which they stated would indicate who was on
4
duty, but those records no longer exist because water damage occurred in the storage area
5
where they were kept. Defendants produced a declaration of no records regarding the
6
FLSA duty sheets. (Dkt. No. 57 at 51.) Thus, presumably, Defendants were unable to
7
locate the CSP duty statements for those staff members because they no longer have the
8
FLSA sheets. Plaintiff appears to argue the supplemental response and production are
9
inadequate because Defendants did not produce the documents due to the water damage.
10
The Court finds no further responses to this request are required. Federal Rule of
11
Civil Procedure 34(a)(1) limits requests for production to items within “the responding
12
party’s possession, custody, or control.” Defendants do not have the FLSA sheets within
13
their possession, custody, or control because they no longer exist due to water damage.
14
This is confirmed by the declaration dated September 14, 2015, which expressly states
15
that Calipatria State Prison “does not have … FLSAs showing staff on duty in Building
16
A5 on A Yard on April 6, 2011.” (Dkt. No. 57 at 51.) Defendants’ counsel further
17
explained in his letter to Plaintiff that the documents no longer exist due to the water
18
damage. (Dkt. No. 57 at 50.) Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiff’s request to
19
compel further responses to RFP Set Three, Number 3.
20
21
iii. RFP Set Three, Number 4
This request seeks information about the title, job description, days off and duties
22
of all ICC members that took part in Plaintiff’s ICC hearings during the period of Dec.
23
20, 2010 to December 20, 2013. According to Plaintiff’s letter memorializing the parties’
24
meet and confer discussions, Defendants agreed to produce the signed and dated CSP
25
duty statements for all ICC members who took part in Plaintiff’s ICC hearings.
26
27
In support of his motion to compel, Plaintiff contends Defendants failed to
supplement their response at all in this regard. Defendants contend they produced the
11
3:13-cv-00916-BEN-NLS
1
relevant responsive information for Defendant Whitman, as well as confirmed that the
2
FLSA duty sheets for April 6, 2011, no longer exist due to water damage. Defendants
3
also produced documents showing the job duties of the ICC members from 2010-2014.
4
The Court finds Defendants need not provide further supplemental responses to
5
this request. Plaintiff’s claims are not against any ICC members other than Defendant
6
Whitman. As already discussed above, Defendants must produce the signed and dated
7
CSP duty statement for Defendant Whitman, whom Plaintiff alleges was an ICC member.
8
(See supra, § III.C.i.) Moreover, Defendants have already produced documents showing
9
the job duties of the members of the ICC from 2010-2014, and Plaintiff has not
10
sufficiently demonstrated the relevance and need for the signed and dated CSP duty
11
statements of the other ICC members. Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiff’s
12
motion to compel a further response to RFP Set Three, Number 4.
13
iv. RFP Set Three, Number 5
14
This request seeks documents showing the name, title, job description, days off and
15
duties of Defendant Vitela’s immediate supervisor on the date of April 6, 2011.
16
Plaintiff’s motion is unclear regarding whether he moves to compel a further response to
17
this request, but Defendants addressed it in their opposition and so the Court addresses it
18
here.
19
When the parties met and conferred, Defendants stated they would search for the
20
log book for building A5 on April 6, 2011. Defendants searched for and provided the
21
responsive log book documents to defense counsel for production. Defense counsel,
22
however, inadvertently left the documents out of the supplemental production.
23
Defendants have since produced the documents, which confirms Defendants’ prior
24
statements that, to the best of their recollection, Seargent R. Diaz was their immediate
25
supervisor and was on duty that day. (Dkt. No. 59 at 10; Dkt. No. 59-1 at 41-43.)
26
Accordingly, the Court DENIES AS MOOT Plaintiff’s request to compel a further
27
response to RFP Set Three Number 5.
