UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Michael A. Washington is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

Currently before the Court is Defendants’ request for relief from the order requiring initial 

disclosures, filed October 20, 2016. Because the Court can resolve the instant motion without 

opposition, the Court will not wait for the opposition deadline to expire prior to issuance of a ruling on 

the instant motion. Local Rule 230(l). 

On August 23, 2016, the previously-assigned magistrate judge issued a discovery and 

scheduling order, directing the parties to provide initial disclosures under Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 26. (ECF No. 16.) After an extension of the initial deadline, the current deadline for initial 

disclosure is November 7, 2016. (ECF No. 21.) 

Because the deadline for initial disclosures has not yet expired and it is not standard practice 

for the undersigned to issue initial disclosures in these types of cases, the Court will vacate the 

MICHAEL A. WASHINGTON,

 Plaintiff,

v.

G. GARCIA, et al.,

Defendants.

Thus, the Court need not and will not address the merits of Defendants’ motion in this instance. 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that the discovery and scheduling order issued on August 23, 

2016 (ECF No. 16), is VACATED, and the Court will issue a new discovery and scheduling order by 

separate order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
