Case No. 2:14-cv-01241-JCM-GWF
ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Subpoena Disc (#36), filed on
August 3, 2015.

16

Plaintiff requests, for the second time, that the Court issue a subpoena for the security

17

footage that Plaintiff alleges would show the incident between Plaintiff and an officer of Defendant

18

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Discovery is ongoing in this matter. See Scheduling

19

Order (#29). The Court does not conduct discovery on behalf of the parties. Because discovery is

20

still open, the Plaintiff has the power to issue a subpoena for the disc himself. Unless a dispute

21

arises between the parties, the Court need not be involved in the discovery process. Accordingly,

22

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion to Subpoena Disc (#36) is denied.

23

DATED this 6th day of August, 2015.
