UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ESTER BURNETT,

Plaintiff,

v.

R. RODRIGUEZ, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-0575 KJM CKD P

ORDER

This pro se prisoner civil rights action is in the discovery stage. (ECF No. 37.) On May 

20, 2016, plaintiff filed a motion stating that he was transferred from Ironwood State Prison on 

May 2, 2016 and has yet to receive his legal property at his current institution. (ECF No. 41; see

ECF No. 42.) Plaintiff avers that, without his legal papers, he cannot respond to discovery 

requests. (Id.) The court will direct defendants to respond to this motion, specifically to update 

the court on the transfer of plaintiff’s legal property to his current institution.1 If an extension of 

time to complete discovery is required, any party may so request.

The court is less interested in plaintiff’s allegations against non-defendants than whether 

plaintiff has received his legal property and, if not, why not and when he is expected to receive it.
