UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DANIEL E. GONZALEZ, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

DEPARTMENT (BUREAU) OF REAL 

ESTATE, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-2448 GEB GGH PS 

ORDER 

Plaintiff is proceeding in this action pro se and in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 

1915. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 302(21), pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 

636(b)(1). 

By order of October 12, 2016, plaintiff was directed to file and serve declarations in 

support of his request for early discovery. Specifically, he was directed to serve “every defendant 

who has been served with summons as of the date he files the above mentioned documents.” 

Plaintiff’s submitted declarations, filed October 19, 2016, do not include proofs of service. 

E.D.Local Rule 135 requires that parties serve documents conventionally and attach a proof of 

service to the original document when it is filed. E.D.L.R. 135(b)(c). Therefore, plaintiff shall 

serve the declarations before an order can be issued addressing his request for expedited 

discovery.

The declarations suffice to warrant early discovery. Plaintiff’s declaration does not state 

that he has previously taken Mr. Schaldach’s deposition or that one is available to him. Mr. 

Schaldach’s declaration indicates that he suffers from a rare form of Parkinson’s disease that is 

not easily remediated, and has suffered serious trauma from falling down. Absent any colorable 

objection after service of the declarations on the served defendants, the undersigned will permit 

early discovery. 

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that: 

1. Within seven days of this order, plaintiff shall serve defendants Jones and Sughrue 

with the declarations filed October 19, 2016, and file proofs of service; 

2. Within seven days of being served with the declarations, defendants Jones and 

Sughrue may file objections; and 

3. The Clerk of the Court shall serve Jones and Sughrue with a copy of this order at the 

addresses listed on their waivers of service (ECF Nos. 18, 21). 

 Dated: October 27, 2016
