IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RYAN BRAN KNOWLES-BROWDER,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-1260 FCD DAD P

vs.

CALIFORNIA FORENSIC MEDICAL

GROUP STAFF, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff has submitted for filing a document titled “Disclosure of evidence to be

used in Claim By Plaintiff” and a document titled “Notice of willingness by Plaintiff to take out

of court settlement offers.”

Plaintiff is informed that this case is exempt from the initial disclosure

requirements of Rule 26(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure because it is “an action

brought without counsel by a person in custody of the United States, a state, or a state

subdivision.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(E). With regard to plaintiff’s desire for access to certain

records, the court has issued an order advising the parties that discovery requests “shall be served

by the parties pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5 and Local Rule 5-135 but shall not

be filed with the court except when required by Local Rules 30-250(a), 33-250(c), 34-250(c), and

36-250(c).” (Discovery Order filed Oct. 21, 2005, at 1.) For these reasons, plaintiff’s disclosure

document will be disregarded.

Plaintiff may correspond with defendants’ counsel concerning out-of-court

settlement of his claims, but the parties shall not file documents concerning settlement unless the

case has been settled. In the event that the parties settle the case, it is the duty of the parties to

inform the court immediately. See Local Rule 16-160(a).

For the reasons set forth above, IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff’s disclosure of

evidence and plaintiff’s notice of willingness to settle, both filed on November 9, 2005, will be

disregarded.

DATED: November 16, 2005.
