UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

BOBBY LEE COLLINS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

D. SMITH, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:24-cv-1229-SCR 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without an attorney in this civil rights action filed 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Currently pending before the court is plaintiff’s request for a 

disability accommodation docketed in this court on May 29, 2024. ECF No. 7. 

 In the request, plaintiff seeks a Spanish interpreter for an administrative hearing on May 

21, 2024 concerning his level of care for mental health treatment within the California 

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. However, by the time the court received the 

request, the hearing had already occurred.1

 Since there is no pending court hearing at which any 

Spanish-speaking witness is required, the motion is denied as moot. 

/////

 Plaintiff signed the request on May 21, 2024, the same day as his administrative hearing. ECF 

No. 7 at 1. Although the court grants plaintiff the benefit of the prison mailbox rule in 

determining the constructive filing date for his pleadings, the court is unable to act until it actually 

receives any motion.
