IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHAWN MARSHALL TOMPKINS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-07-2346 GEB EFB P

vs.

STEPHENS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42

U.S.C. § 1983. He has filed two motions to compel, which defendants have opposed. See Dckt.

Nos. 73, 74, 76, 77.

Plaintiff’s motions assert that he propounded interrogatories and requests for production

of documents but did not receive responses from defendants. Defendants’ oppositions and

attachments show that defendants have indeed responded to the discovery requests. See Dckt.

No. 77, Exs. D-F (defendants’ interrogatory responses), Dckt. No. 76, Ex. B (defendants’

response to plaintiff’s request for production of documents). It appears that plaintiff has now

received defendants’ discovery responses, and his motions to compel should be denied as moot.
