IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHRISTOPHER OATEY,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-2006 LKK JFM P

vs.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT

OF CORRECTIONS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On April 19, 2005, plaintiff filed a motion to compel discovery. By order

filed June 8, 2005, defendants were directed to submit certain documents for in camera review. 

On August 25, 2005, defendants were advised that the court was inclined to order the documents

disclosed, but would provide an opportunity for defendants to suggest redactions required for

security reasons. On September 9, 2005, counsel submitted only the Internal Affairs

Investigation Report with suggested redactions, and asked the court to restrict release to this

document. Failing such restriction, counsel sought a 21 day extension of time to obtain review of

the remaining supporting documents by the Office of Internal Affairs and the Law Enforcement

Investigative Unit.

Defendants’ request to restrict disclosure to the Internal Affairs Investigation

Report will be denied and defendants will be provided a brief time to comply with this court’s
