Before the Court is Plaintiff’s letter dated May 19, 2011. ECF No. 57. Included with
Plaintiff’s letter are eleven deposition transcripts marked “Original.” Plaintiff asks that the

17

deposition transcripts be filed with the Court as he will be relying on them for his “Motion to

19

Compel Discovery, Motion to Impose Discovery Sanctions, Cross Motion for Summary

20

Judgment, and Response to Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment.” Id.

Discovery is not filed in civil cases, unless it is attached to a motion. Although Plaintiff
indicates that he anticipates filing various motions, none have been filed to date. At the time
Plaintiff files a discovery motion, he may attach the discovery that is in dispute. See e.g., CR

24
37(a)(1)(B)(ii) (each disputed discovery request and the opposing party’s objection/response
25

thereto shall be set forth in the submission). See also, CR 32 (Using Depositions in Court
Proceedings).
