IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDWARD ONTIVEROS, No. CIV S-06-0233-LKK-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

KERNAN, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 30, 2007, plaintiff filed a motion requesting: (1) to file

discovery documents with the court; and (2) judicial intervention with respect to service of

process on defendants Kernan and Pimental. 

As to plaintiff’s request to file discovery documents, plaintiff is advised that such

documents need not be filed with the court except as part of a motion to compel. Therefore,

plaintiff’s discovery requests will not be filed and will not be considered at this time. The court

refers plaintiff to the March 8, 2007, discovery order for instructions regarding conducting

discovery in this matter.

As to service of process on defendant Kernan, plaintiff is advised that defendant

Kernan has waived service and filed his answer to the complaint on April 17, 2007. As to

defendant Pimental, who remains unserved, process has not yet been returned unexecuted as to

such defendant. Therefore, plaintiff’s request for judicial intervention is premature at this time. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s March 30, 2007, motion

is denied. 

DATED: May 23, 2007.
