on at least three different occasions requested that his name be changed. A review of the record

shows that Plaintiff has filed notices to change address but never requested that his name be

changed. To the extent stated in this Order, Plaintiff's name will remain the same in the caption

of this matter but the Clerk of the Court will be directed to use all of Plaintiff's surnames/aliases when mailing correspondence to Plaintiff.

B. Motion for Production of Documents.

Plaintiff seeks to obtain all documents relating to discipline case number 99-A16-1041

issued July 21, 1999. Plaintiff is advised that motions for discovery/compel need not be filed

with the Court but rather submitted to opposing counsel with a Notice of Service filed with the

Court. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 5(d):

All papers after the complaint required to be served upon a party, together with

a certificate of service, must be filed with the court within a reasonable time after

service, but disclosures under Rule 26(a)(1) or (2) and the following discovery

requests and responses must not be filed until they are used in the proceeding or

the court orders filing: (i) depositions, (ii) interrogatories, (iii) requests for

documents or to permit entry upon land, and (iv) requests for admission.

Also see Rules of Practice of the United States District Court, District of Arizona (Local Rules),

LRCiv 5.2:

A "Notice of Service" of the disclosures and discovery requests and responses

listed in Rule 5(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure must be filed within

a reasonable time after service of such papers.

Accordingly, Plaintiff's request will be denied.

C. Motion for Enlargement of Time to File Response.

Plaintiff is requesting a continuance of time within which to file a response to

Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment. Plaintiff's response was due December 18, 2005.

Upon good cause shown and no objection by Defendant, Plaintiff's Motion will be granted in

part, as further stated in this Order.

IT IS ORDERED denying Plaintiff's Motion to Correct Name in Caption (Doc. #116).

The Clerk of the Court is directed to use all of Plaintiff's sur-names/aliases when addressing any

correspondence to Plaintiff.
