the “WSP Medical” to let him receive his medical files, and compelling the Superintendent of the

Washington Corrections Center to supply him with the names of certain prison personnel. Dkt. 9.

The Court shall treat plaintiff’s requests as a motion to compel discovery. As defendants have

wholly premature.
