DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
Steven J. Roy
v.

Civil No. 12-cv-303-JD

N.H. Department of Corrections,
Commissioner, et al.
O R D E R
On May 15, 2013, a preliminary pretrial conference was
held in this case.

Plaintiff appeared via video on his own

behalf; Attorney Nancy J. Smith appeared for defendants.
Because the court adopts a discovery order that the court
discussed with the parties at the pretrial hearing, the
court denies as moot both plaintiff’s proposed discovery
plan (doc. no. 38) and defendant’s proposed discovery plan
(doc. no. 37).
The terms of the discovery order are summarized below.
