UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES HOPKINS,

Plaintiff,

v.

MOHAMMAD ALI, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. CV-F-02-5390 AWI SMS P

ORDER STRIKING REQUEST FOR

PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS

(Doc. 76)

Plaintiff Charles Hopkins (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On April 1, 2005, plaintiff filed a

request for the production of documents with the court. 

First, discovery requests should not be filed with the court unless and until a dispute arises

making it necessary for the court to review the discovery request. (Doc. 10, First Informational

Order, ¶ 7.) No such matter is pending before the court.

Second, the deadline for the completion of all discovery was January 5, 2004. (Doc. 46.) 

Thus, the discovery phase of this action concluded more than one year ago, and defendants are under

no obligation to respond to plaintiff’s discovery requests.
