CASE NO. 1:06-CV-00070-AWI-SMS-P

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTIONS

FOR DISCOVERY AS PREMATURE

(Docs. 26 and 27)

On October 23, 2006, and on October 24, 2006, plaintiff filed motions seeking discovery.

Plaintiff is directed to re-read paragraph eight of the First Informational Order, filed March 7, 2006,

which specifically notified plaintiff that no discovery may be conducted until defendants are served,

an answer is filed, and the court issues an order opening discovery. (Doc. 8.) Those events have not

yet occurred. 

Plaintiff’s motions are HEREBY DENIED as premature.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
