ORDER

This matter is before the court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Engage in Discovery (Filing
No. 7). Plaintiff requests permission to engage in discovery prior to the entry of the initial
progression order. However, there is no evidence that any of the defendants have been
properly notified of this action by service of a summons and copy of the complaint as
required by Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Plaintiff’s motion for
discovery, therefore, is premature. Plaintiff may want to review this district’s resources
for pro se individuals for information regarding self-representation in this court, found at:
http://www.ned.uscourts.gov/public/proceeding-without-an-attorney.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED: Plaintiff’s Motion to Engage in Discovery (Filing No. 7) is
denied, without prejudice.
DATED: January 4, 2017.

BY THE COURT:
s/ F.A. Gossett
United States Magistrate Judge
