ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on the pro se Plaintiff’s “Motion for an Order
Compelling Discovery,” (Doc. No. 26), in which Plaintiff seeks an order requiring Defendants to
provide Plaintiff with the “real name, address, and employers file as well as use of force incident
report with defendants real name and statements to find defendants real name and prove
involvement.”
This motion denied as moot because the Court granted Plaintiff limited discovery for the
purpose of identifying Defendant Murray on January 4, 2018. (Doc. No. 25). To the extent that
Plaintiff seeks discovery beyond that necessary to identify and serve Defendant Murray, it is
denied as premature. See (Doc. No. 18).
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s “Motion for Order Granting Discovery,”
(Doc. No. 26), is DENIED.
Signed: January 10, 2018
