UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DARREN HARRIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

KIM, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:05-cv-00003-AWI-SKO PC

ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFF’S LETTER 

TO DEFENDANTS’ COUNSEL RE 

DISCOVERY DISPUTE

(Doc. 123)

On January 8, 2014, the Court received a copy of Plaintiff’s letter to Defendants’ counsel 

regarding Plaintiff’s dissatisfaction with Defendants’ supplemental discovery responses. (Doc. 

123.) Plaintiff’s letter to counsel complies with the terms of the Court’s order filed on November 

26, 2013, and it triggers counsel’s obligation to arrange to meet and confer with Plaintiff in an 

attempt to resolve their discovery dispute. (Doc. 121.) However, the letter should not have been 

sent to the Court; the Court is not involved, and will not become involved, in the parties’ 

discovery dispute at this juncture. The Court will consider any issues raised by the parties if it 

becomes necessary for Plaintiff to file a motion to compel, but under the terms of the operative 

order, a motion to compel is premature at this juncture, as is any supporting documentation which 

may be relevant to a future motion to compel.
