The Court previously instructed Plaintiff to serve discovery on Defendants’ attorney and to

17

not file such discovery requests with the Court. See Docket No. 39. The Court repeats here that

18

discovery-related documents are not to be filed unless ordered by the Court. See Local Rule 26-8;

19

see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(d)(1). No such order has been entered by the Court in this case.

Case No. 2:16-cv-00037-RFB-NJK
ORDER
(Docket Nos. 45-47)

20

As such, the Court STRIKES Docket Nos. 45, 46 and 47. Plaintiff is INSTRUCTED to

21

refrain from filing discovery requests with the Court, and shall only serve such requests on

22

Defendants’ attorney. As it appears in this case that the discovery requests have been served on

23

Defendants’ counsel, see, e.g., Docket No. 45 at 3 (proof of service), nothing herein should be

24

construed as impacting the requirement or deadline for Defendants to respond to the discovery.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
