UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARTIN PARTIDA GAONA,

Plaintiff,

v.

KUSHNER, et.al.,

Defendants.

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO FILE

EXHIBITS 

(Doc. 9.) 

Martin Partida Gaona (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

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

Plaintiff filed the instant action on July 10, 2006. On October 18, 2006, Plaintiff filed a

pleading titled “Motion to File Exhibits pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.” In this pleading, Plaintiff

requests permission to submit to the Court exhibits in support of his action. 

Plaintiff’s request will be denied. It is inappropriate to attach exhibits to a complaint. 

See Rule 8, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In addition, the Court cannot serve as a repository

for the parties' evidence. Originals or copies of evidence (i.e., prison or medical records, witness

affidavits, etc.) should not be submitted until the course of litigation brings the evidence into

question (for example, on a motion for summary judgment, at trial, or when requested by the

court). At this point, the submission of evidence is premature as the Plaintiff is only required to

state a prima facie claim for relief in the Complaint. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s request for

permission to file exhibits in support of his Complaint is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
