UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Irvin Ban Buren (“Plaintiff”) is a prisoner in the custody of the California Department 

of Corrections and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”). Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in 

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

Defendant’s December 3, 2014, motion for summary judgment based on exhaustion is 

pending.

On February 2, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion to compel Defendant Emerson to respond to 

discovery. The discovery at issue, however, was served on December 29, 2014. Pursuant to the 

Discovery and Scheduling order, Defendant has thirty days after service of the discovery to serve 

responses. Plaintiff’s motion was signed on January 28, 2015, which is the exact date that 

Defendant’s responses were due.

The Court will not entertain a motion to compel filed on the day on which documents are due. 

This is especially true given the normal delays in receiving institutional mail. 

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion is DENIED, without prejudice, as premature. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
