United States District Court

Eastern District of California 

Jeffers P. Dickey,

Plaintiff, No. Civ. S 03-2215 MCE PAN P

vs. Order

M. Churray,

Defendant.

-oOoPlaintiff, a state prisoner without counsel, claims

defendant failed to protect him from inmates who attacked him on

the exercise yard. The court herein addresses plaintiff’s June

22, 2005, discovery motion. 

Plaintiff’s Interrogatory 4, asked for the name, address,

and badge/prisoner identification number of each person who

witnessed the attack, made or heard statements regarding it, or

had knowledge of it. Defendant provided plaintiff a copy of

Crime/Incident Report No. SAC-FAS-01-11-0510 and stated the 

Case 2:03-cv-02215-ALA Document 64 Filed 11/29/05 Page 1 of 2

document identified all witnesses. Plaintiff attempted to confer

with defendant, asking for addresses of eight inmates plaintiff

contends witnessed the event. Defendant did not respond.

Defendant shall provide the requested addresses.

Interrogatory 5 asked defendant to identify and provide the

address of anyone interviewed about the incident by “anyone

acting on [defendant’s] behalf.” Defendant admits an

investigation was made through the warden’s office, but argues it

was not on his “behalf.” Defendant shall provide the requested

information.

Request for production of documents number 5 asked defendant

to produce copies of all materials directing his duties and

responsibilities as a control officer. These materials are

irrelevant; what matters in this case is what the constitution

required, not what a manual may or may not have required. No

further response is required.

Plaintiff’s June 22, 2005, motion to compel discovery is

granted in part. Defendant shall respond as herein provided

within ten days. 

So ordered. 

Dated: November 29, 2005.
