Case No. 4:10CV319 RWS

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before me on my review of the file. On September 26, 2011, I granted
defendants’ motion to compel plaintiff’s initial disclosures and responses to interrogatories. In
response, plaintiff submitted these documents, along with discovery directed to defendants, to the
Court for filing. Although the Court does not normally accept discovery materials for filing, I
directed the Clerk of the Court to file these documents because plaintiff, a pro se litigant, may
have believed he was required to do so in response to my prior Order. However, plaintiff is
reminded that discovery materials should be served on defendants but not filed with the Court.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court maintain plaintiff’s discovery
materials in the file as previously directed.

RODNEY W. SIPPEL
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Dated this 12th day of October, 2011.
