UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PAUL WELDON,

Plaintiff,

v.

JERRY DYER, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:13-cv-00540-LJO-SAB

ORDER DISREGARDING PLAINTIFF’S 

JANUARY 26, 2015 FILINGS

ECF NO. 89, 90, 91

On January 26, 2015, Plaintiff Paul Weldon (“Plaintiff”) filed several documents, which 

appear to be Plaintiff’s responses to interrogatories, requests for admission, and requests for

production of documents propounded on Plaintiff by Defendants. (ECF Nos. 89, 90, 91.)

It is unclear why Plaintiff filed these documents with the Court. Plaintiff is advised that 

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure do not require Plaintiff to file his responses to discovery 

requests with the Court. Discovery is generally conducted between the parties without the 

Court’s intervention unless a dispute arises between the parties and a party files a motion to 

compel or other discovery motion. Since no motion to compel has been filed and there is no 

indication of any discovery dispute between the parties requiring the Court’s intervention, 

Plaintiff’s January 26, 2015 will be disregarded because they serve no purpose.
