IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY LORAN PERKINS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-0760 DFL DAD P

vs.

SCOTT KERNAN, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On March 14, 2007, plaintiff filed a discovery motion, requesting the court to

issue an order that requires the defendants to provide plaintiff with color photographs of the two

medical technicians who worked in the New Folsom Administrative Segregation Unit from June

2005 through October 2005. Plaintiff alleges that the photographs will help him identify

defendant J. Nguyen, now named as John Doe, who has yet to be served. Plaintiff is advised that

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure relating to discovery do not support such a request. 

Defendants are not obligated to serve as an investigator for plaintiff or to produce such evidence. 

Accordingly, the court will deny plaintiff’s discovery motion. 

On March 16, 2007, plaintiff requested an extension of time to file an opposition

to defendants’ motion to dismiss. Plaintiff timely filed his opposition on March 26, 2007. 

Accordingly, plaintiff’s request for an extension of time will be denied as unnecessary.
