MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
Before the court is Plaintiff’s Motion for Order Compelling Discovery (ECF No. 16).
Defendant Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) has opposed the motion (ECF No. 17).
Plaintiff requests the NDOC to “answer fully Interrogatory No. 2.” Plaintiff states
“Defendants [are] sending Plaintiff mixed ‘Answers’ by offering Correctional Officer Brea Finch
as the sole mail room officer working on January 27, 2014, but that it was unknown whether she
processed mail belonging to the Plaintiff . . . .” (Id. at 2.) Defendant NDOC states it provided
Plaintiff with the name and title of the only mailroom worker at Ely State Prison on the date in
question. (ECF No. 17 at 2, 3.)
The court finds NDOC’s response to Plaintiff’s Interrogatory No. 2 was accurate and
complete for the purposes of the limited discovery.
Plaintiff’s Motion for Order Compelling Discovery (ECF No. 16) is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
