UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TOMMY MACKEY,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. GOSS, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 1:18-cv-00988-DAD-JDP

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

TO COMPEL WITHOUT PREJUDICE

ECF No. 32

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

FOR SERVICE AS MOOT

ECF No. 29

Plaintiff Tommy Mackey is a state prisoner proceeding with counsel in this civil rights 

action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 24, 2020, plaintiff filed a motion to compel. 

ECF No. 32. This motion does not appear to have been filed in accordance with the relevant 

courtroom procedures, although the court understands that plaintiff may have had difficulty 

accessing such procedures. (Plaintiff should see the attached document, also available at 

caed.uscourts.gov.) The court therefore denies the motion without prejudice. The court may 

reconsider such a motion at a later date, if the issue remains relevant after the attached procedures 

have been followed, including a meeting between the parties and “a good faith effort to resolve 

the dispute without court action.” 

Plaintiff’s motion for service of process against defendant Martinez, ECF No. 29, is 

denied as moot. Defendant Martinez waived service on November 18, 2019. See ECF No. 27.
