UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIE D. RANDLE,

Plaintiff,

v.

EDWARD S. ALAMEIDA, et. al.,

Defendants.

 /

CV F 03 6313 REC SMS P 

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO COMPEL 

(Doc. 43.) 

Willie D. Randle is (“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 March 24, 2006, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Compel discovery. A review of the Court

docket, however, reveals that the Court has not yet opened discovery in this case. Thus,

Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel is premature. As noted by Defendants in the Opposition filed on

March 30, 2006, to the Motion to Compel, no discovery may be had until the Court issues a

discovery order. See, Court Doc. 6, ¶ 7. The Court has not yet issued an Order opening

discovery. As such, the Motion to Compel and any discovery conducted to date is premature. 

Accordingly, the Motion to Compel is DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 5, 2006 /s/ Sandra M. Snyder
