UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

COVARSIA DILL, Civil No. 10cv1494-W (CAB)

Plaintiff, ORDER DENYING WITHOUT

PREJUDICE MOTION TO COMPEL

DISCOVERY

[Doc. No. 26]

v.

J. IVES, et al.,

Defendants.

On May 18, 2011, plaintiff filed a motion for order compelling discovery. [Doc. No. 26.] 

In the motion, plaintiff seeks an order compelling the production of certain records and

information. However, there is no evidence that a) plaintiff has propounded a written discovery

request on defendants and b) defendants either failed to respond to the discovery request or

provided an insufficient response. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(a)(3)(B), (4); James v. Wash. Depot

Holdings, Inc., 240 FRD 693, 694-695 (S.D. Fla. 2006). Given that there is no underlying

discovery request upon which this court can rule, the motion is DENIED WITHOUT

PREJUDICE.
