UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Hussein Ali Kietty is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On May 4, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion to compel discovery. Defendants filed an opposition 

on May 15, 2015. The motion is deemed submitted to the Court for review pursuant to Local Rule 

230(l).

Plaintiff seeks to compel Defendants to respond to his request for interrogatories sent on 

February 2, 2015. 

Pursuant to the Court’s June 2, 2014, discovery and scheduling order, the deadline for 

completion of all discovery, including motions to compel, was set for February 2, 2015. (ECF No. 

16.) Pursuant to this order, responses to written discovery requests are due forty-five days after the 

request is first served. (Id.) In this instance, the last day to serve discovery requests was December 

19, 2014, to allow for the forty-five day response period. (Id.) 

HUSSEIN ALI KIETTY,

 Plaintiff,

v.

A. WALKER, et al.,

Defendants.

Although Plaintiff requested an extension of the discovery deadline, the request was denied on 

the basis that Plaintiff failed to present good cause for such extension. (ECF Nos. 32, 33.) Therefore, 

discovery concluded on February 2, 2015. Plaintiff did not propound his discovery in a timely manner 

by following the procedure as outlined in the Court’s June 2, 2014, order. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s 

discovery request was untimely, and the motion to compel must be DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 2, 2015
