UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ROBERT BENYAMINI, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

M. SWETT, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:13-cv-735-KJM-EFB P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a former state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. He requests an additional fourteen days within which to respond to 

defendants’ discovery requests. This request is granted. 

He also requests an order directing “CSPSAC [to produce] all documentation” that he has 

sought from the litigation department. This request is denied. California State Prison, 

Sacramento and its litigation department is not a party to this lawsuit, and is under no obligation 

to respond to plaintiff’s request for documents, as such requests may only be served on other 

parties. See Fed. R. Civ. P 34(a). The court previously informed plaintiff that he may serve 

discovery requests on defendants, and that if they fail to properly respond, he may then file a 

motion to compel. See ECF No. 52.
