UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Claude Carr is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action proceeds on Plaintiff’s claim against Defendant 

Ted Pruitt for deliberate indifference in violation of the Eighth Amendment. (ECF No. 14.)

Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for an order compelling discovery, filed and 

served pursuant to the prison mailbox rule on December 8, 2019 and docketed on December 12, 2019. 

(ECF No. 49.) In his motion, Plaintiff moves the Court for an order compelling Defendant to provide 

Plaintiff with initial responses to Plaintiff’s First Set of Interrogatories and Plaintiff’s First Request for 

Production of Documents. Plaintiff states that, even though he submitted the interrogatories and 

requests for documents to Defendant on or about October 16, 2019, he has not received any answers 

from Defendant. (Id.)

Defendant’s response to Plaintiff’s motion for an order compelling discovery was due on or 

before January 2, 2020. However, to date, Defendant has not filed an opposition, or a statement of 

non-opposition, to Plaintiff’s motion for an order compelling discovery. 

In this case, the Court finds that it is appropriate to require Defendant to file a response to 

Plaintiff’s motion for an order compelling discovery. Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that, 

within fourteen (14) days from the date of service of this order, Defendant shall file a response to 

Plaintiff’s motion for an order compelling discovery, (ECF No. 49). Plaintiff should not file any reply 

to Defendant’s response absent further order from this Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 10, 2020
