UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PETER FEAR, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:18-cv-2333 KJM DB

ORDER

On August 24, 2018, Orlonzo Hedrington commenced this action, through counsel, by 

filing a complaint and paying the applicable filing fee. (ECF No. 1.) On September 9, 2021, 

Hedrington filed a motion to compel and noticed the motion for hearing before the undersigned 

on October 8, 2021. (ECF No. 49.) Although the plaintiff in this action is represented by 

counsel, Hedrington’s motion was not filed through counsel but was instead filed by Hedrington

personally. Moreover, on June 30, 2021, “Peter L. Fear, in his capacity as the Trustee of the 

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Estate of Orlonzo Hedrington” was substituted in “as the sole plaintiff in 

this action[.]” (ECF No. 44 at 2.) In this regard, the September 9, 2021 motion to compel was 

not filed by the plaintiff or plaintiff’s counsel and will, therefore, be denied.
