UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BENNY ANGEL ARVISO,

Plaintiff,

v.

FRESNO COUNTY SHERIFF 

DEPARTMENT, et al.,

Defendants

CASE NO. 1:13-cv-0469-MJS (PC)

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

DISCOVERY

(ECF No. 18)

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 

rights action brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff consented to Magistrate 

Judge jurisdiction. 

Plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint was dismissed for failure to state a claim

based on statute of limitations grounds. (ECF No. 14.) The Court found that Plaintiff’s 

action was untimely, and on July 9, 2014 the case was dismissed without leave to 

amend. (ECF Nos. 14 & 15.) On April 1, 2015, the Court denied Plaintiff’s Motion for 

Reconsideration. (ECF No. 16.) Before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for discovery. 

(ECF No. 18.)

Plaintiff seeks discovery pursuant to “1045” to assist him in filing a second motion

for reconsideration. (ECF No. 18.) It is unclear what rule or authority Plaintiff relies on to 

support his request for discovery. In any event, judgment was entered in this matter, 

and the case was closed on July 9, 2014. (ECF Nos. 14 & 15.), Plaintiff is not entitled to 

discovery.

Based on the foregoing, Plaintiff’s motion for discovery (ECF No. 18) is HEREBY 

DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
