ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant

emails for in camera review.

On September 27, 2016, the undersigned granted in part and denied in part plaintiff’s 

motion to reopen discovery. (ECF No. 82.) The undersigned ordered defendant to respond to the 

request for admissions and request for production of documents served by plaintiff on December 

3, 2015. (Id.)

After receiving defendant’s responses to his discovery requests, plaintiff filed the pending

motion for in camera review. (ECF No. 84.) Plaintiff alleges that defendant provided him with 

two redacted emails. (Id.) Plaintiff requests that the court conduct an in camera review of 

unredacted versions of the emails to determine whether the redacted information is relevant. (Id.)
