UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GARY CECIL,

Plaintiff,

v.

JEFF BEARD, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:13-cv-1923 TLN KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel. On November 7, 2014, plaintiff 

filed a motion to compel discovery. Plaintiff’s contends that Dr. Rohlfing failed to verify his 

responses to plaintiff’s first set of interrogatories.

6. On July 18, 2014, the court issued its discovery order setting the 

following discovery deadlines: The parties may conduct discovery 

until October 31, 2014. Any motions necessary to compel 

discovery shall be filed by that date. All requests for discovery 

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 31, 33, 34 or 36 shall be served not later 

than sixty days prior to that date.

(ECF No. 63 at 5.)

The certificate of service appended to plaintiff’s motion was signed and dated by plaintiff 

on November 2, 2014. Thus, plaintiff’s motion to compel discovery is untimely under the 

scheduling order because it was not presented to prison officials for mailing on or before October 

31, 2014. Plaintiff’s motion to compel is denied.
