IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JULIO CESAR CASTELLANOS,

 

Plaintiff,

vs.

DARRYL B. FERGUSON, et al.,

Defendants. 

_________________________________/

Case No. 1:10-cv-02261 LJO JLT (PC)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST

FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS

(Doc. 6)

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

§ 1983. On January 4, 2010, Plaintiff requested that Defendants produce documents, including:

Defendants’ employment records and credentials, work product retained by Defendants, and any

records of monetary transactions between Plaintiff and Defendants. Plaintiff, however, has not paid

the filing fee or, in the alternative, filed a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis for

this action. (See Doc. 3.) Thus, the Court has yet to screen the complaint, and Defendants have not

been served. Only at that time will the Court issue a discovery and scheduling order authorizing

Plaintiff’s discovery requests.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s January 4, 2011, request for the

production of documents (Doc. 6) is DENIED AS PREMATURE.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 5, 2011 /s/ Jennifer L. Thurston
