UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMAAL L. DUNCAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

M.D. DR. KIM, et al.,

Defendants.

1:13-cv-01153-AWI-JLT (PC)

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT'S 

WITHDRAWAL OF MOTION TO COMPEL 

AND DISCHARGING ORDER TO SHOW 

CAUSE

(Docs. 34, 36, 39) 

Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding pro se in a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. '

1983. On October 2, 2014, an order issued for Plaintiff to show cause as to why the action should 

not be dismissed for Plaintiff's failure to file an opposition to Defendant's motion to compel 

discovery responses. (Doc. 10.) Plaintiff failed to file a response. However, on November 3, 

2014, Defendant filed a notice of withdrawal of the motion to compel indicating that Plaintiff's 

responses to propounded discovery had been received. (Doc. 10, 11, 12, 14.) 

While the basis for the order to show cause has been obviated, Plaintiff is admonished of 

his duty to respond to motions filed by the defendants in this action and to respond when ordered 

to do so by this Court. 

 Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant's request to withdraw the motion 

to compel discovery responses, filed November 3, 2014 (Doc. 39), is GRANTED, Defendants'
