UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC MARTIN,

Plaintiff,

v.

DAVID WINETT, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:04-CV-05358-OWW-LJO-P

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

TO COMPEL AS UNTIMELY

(Doc. 65)

Plaintiff Eric Martin (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is proceeding on plaintiff’s amended complaint,

filed December 27, 2004, against defendants Holcolm and Gracie for violating plaintiff’s rights

under the Eighth Amendment by depriving plaintiff of water in his cell, and defendants Aguirre and

Huerta for violating plaintiff’s right of access to the courts bymailing home plaintiff’s legal property

and causing plaintiff to miss a court deadline. Defendants Aguirre, Gracey, and Huerta waived

service and made an appearance in this action. The United States Marshal is currently re-attempting

service on defendant Holcolm. 

On July 31, 2006, plaintiff filed a motion to compel a further response to his request for the

production of documents, served on April 6, 2006. Defendants Aguirre, Gracey, and Huerta filed

an opposition on August 21, 2006. Defendants oppose the motion, in relevant part, on the ground

that it is untimely.
