UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GEORGE E. JACOBS IV,

Plaintiff,

v.

ALLEN K. SCRIBNER, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:06-cv-01280-AWI-GSA PC

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

TO DEEM REQUESTS FOR ADMISSIONS,

INTERROGATORIES, AND PRODUCTION

OF DOCUMENTS ADMITTED AND FOR

MONETARY SANCTIONS

(Doc. 113)

Plaintiff George E. Jacobs IV (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On December 15, 2009, Defendants filed a second motion seeking an extension of time to

serve their responses to Plaintiff’s discovery requests as ordered by the Court in response to

Plaintiff’s motions to compel discovery responses (Docs. 87, 88, 95, 106) which was approved on

December 16, 2009 (Doc. 109). On December 28, 2009, Plaintiff filed a motion to deem requests

for admissions, interrogatories, and production of documents admitted and seeking imposition of

monetary sanctions. (Doc. 113.) Defendants filed their opposition on January 6, 2010. (Doc. 114.) 

Plaintiff has not yet filed a reply. 

1

Since the due date for service of Defendants responses to discovery sought by Plaintiff has

Plaintiff’s motion seeks relief which Plaintiff is not yet, and may not ever be entitled to 1

in this action. (Doc. 83, 7:2-8.) The Court need not await the filing of a reply by Plaintiff where

there exists no arguments and/or evidence Plaintiff could possibly present that would change the

Court’s ruling on this motion.
