Case No. 2:09-cv-2272-GMN-GWF
ORDER
Plaintiff’s Motion for Order
Grievance (#35)

13
14

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Order Grievance (#35), filed on

15

August 8, 2011, and Defendant’s Response to Motion for a Order Grievance (#37), filed on

16

August 25, 2011. Plaintiff requests the Court order Defendant to disclose to him copies of an

17

Inspector General report of an incident that occurred on November 9, 2008. Defendants oppose

18

this Motion arguing that the request is premature and the requested report is confidential.

19

The Court finds Plaintiff’s request for discovery documents is premature. Discovery in

20

civil actions is governed by a discovery plan. LR 26-1. A discovery plan has not yet been

21

established in this case and therefore a request that the Court order the Defendant to produce

22

discovery documents is premature. Accordingly,

23

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Order Grievance (#35) is denied.

24

DATED this 26th day of August, 2011.
