UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD M. SANSONE,

Plaintiff,

v.

LVN LOPEZ, 

Defendant.

 /

CASE NO. 1:07-cv-01086-OWW-SMS PC

ORDER STRIKING DECLARATION OF

WALTER WHITE

(Doc. 17)

Plaintiff Richard M. Sansone (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is proceeding on

plaintiff’s amended complaint, filed September 10, 2007, against defendant Lopez for acting with

deliberate indifference to plaintiff’s medical needs, in violation of the Eighth Amendment. On

October 5, 2007, the court issued an order directing the United States Marshal to initiate service of

process on defendant Lopez. On October 9, 2007, plaintiff filed the declaration of inmate Walter

White, in which Mr. White attests to actions and inactions of defendant Lopez.

Plaintiff may only submit evidence to the court if there is a motion or other proceeding

pending which requires the submission of evidence. A motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust or

a motion for summary judgment are examples. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b), 56. At this juncture, there are

no proceedings pending requiring the submission of evidence, and plaintiff may not simply submit

evidence in a vacuum.
