No. CV 06-0066-PHX-EHC (ECV)

ORDER

Pending before the court are Plaintiff's "Motion to Preserve and Provide Evidence

from the Mesa Police Department" (Doc. #5) and "Motion for Court Order to Elaborate

Claim" (Doc. #6).

In the motion to preserve and provide evidence, Plaintiff asks the court to order the

Mesa Police Department to provide him electronic recordings from the police cruisers that

were used during his arrest. The court docket reflects that no defendants have been served

in this matter. When and if any defendants are served, Plaintiff may submit discovery

requests seeking this information. Plaintiff has presented no information to suggest the

information is not likely to be available through standard discovery procedures. Plaintiff's

request is therefore premature and it will be denied.

Regarding the motion to elaborate his claim, the motion is unnecessary. The District

Court issued a screening order in which it determined that the facts alleged in Count One

adequately state a claim. Doc. #4. The Court dismissed Counts Two and Three. Id.

Plaintiff's motion provides additional facts in support of his claim in Ground One. At this

stage of the case, however, Plaintiff does not need to submit additional facts to support his

claim and a court order is not necessary for such a submission. The motion will therefore be

denied, though the information in the motion will remain in the court file.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:

That Plaintiff's "Motion to Preserve and Provide Evidence from the Mesa Police

Department" (Doc. #5) and "Motion for Court Order to Elaborate Claim" (Doc. #6) are

DENIED. 

DATED this 17th day of February, 2006.
