UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MOHAMED ABDALLA,

Plaintiff,

v.

KRAMER, ET. AL.,

Defendants.

 /

CV F 02 5453 REC SMS P

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS (Doc. 76.) 

 Mohamed Abdalla (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights

action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On September 23, 2005, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Court Ordered Production of

Documents wherein he asks the Court to require Defendants to provide him with a complete copy

of his deposition transcript. 

On November 4, 2004, the Court issued a Scheduling Order designating a discovery

deadline of May 6, 2005. Plaintiff made his request for the production of documents on

September 23, 2005, well after the discover deadline and thus, his request is untimely and must

be denied.

Even had Plaintiff timely filed his request, Plaintiff is not entitled to an Order requiring

Defendants to produce to him a complete copy of his deposition transcript. Nothing in the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure entitles Plaintiff to a complete free copy of his deposition

transcript. If Plaintiff wishes to obtain a copy for his own records, he must pay for it, pursuant

to Rule 30(f)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Request for Production of Documents is DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
