Uduko v. Cozzens et al

Filing 221

ORDER to Produce Discovery 215 . Signed by District Judge Victoria A. Roberts. (LVer)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
Okechukwu Uduko,
Plaintiff,

Case No: 11-13765
Hon. Victoria A. Roberts

v.
Stephen E. Cozzens, et al,
Defendants.

ORDER TO REPRODUCE DISCOVERY (ECF NO. 215)
On February 16, 2016, Uduko filed a response to the Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”)
discovery production. The Court reviewed his objection to Record No. 47; it may have
merit. The other objections are denied.
Discovery No. 47 requests a copy of the log regarding the destruction of inmate
property from September 3, 2008 to October 31, 2008 and from November 1, 2009 to
December 31, 2009. BOP says it already produced documents as bates-stamped
1178-1181. Id. at PgID 3328.
Its unclear whether Uduko received these documents.
Uduko says Record No. 47 was not produced with discovery. Uduko provides a
different page range – 1177-1196 – than BOP. However, in his next objection (Record
No. 50), Uduko references documents he did receive bates-stamped 1160-1181. This
would include the pages the BOP refers to.
In an exercise of caution, the Court orders the BOP to reproduce documents
bates-stamped 1178-1196.
