MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
Before the court is plaintiff’s motion for an order compelling discovery (#39).
Defendants opposed the motion (#40), and plaintiff replied (#45).
The court is unclear what relief plaintiff is seeking by his motion. It appears that plaintiff
either wants an entire copy of his medical records sent to the court, free of charge, or that he is
seeking to keep an entire copy of his medical records in his cell. In an either event, the motion
for order compelling discovery (#39) is DENIED.
Plaintiff was granted a sixty-day extension of time to November 13, 2015 to complete
discovery (#25). The present motion was filed on the deadline and only after a motion for
judgment on the pleadings was fully briefed. The plaintiff may have access to his medical
records in accordance with the standard policy and procedures set forth by Nevada Department
of Corrections.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
LANCE S. WILSON, CLERK
