UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JONATHAN ALEXANDER, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA 

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS 

AND REHABILITATION, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:11-cv-0640 TLN CKD

ORDER

Currently calendared for hearing on October 21, 2015 is plaintiffs’ motion to compel 

production of documents. Upon review of the parties’ joint statement, the court concludes that 

this matter is not yet ripe for adjudication. The discovery in dispute was propounded on July 14, 

2015. Defense counsel indicate that they have only recently received the responsive documents 

from their clients. While the boilerplate objections made to the document requests at issue are not 

acceptable, it appears at this juncture that further meeting and conferring, after an actual 

production of responsive documents, would narrow the issues for decision by the court.1

 The court notes that this action has not yet been scheduled by the District Court and that there is 

no pending discovery cut-off.
