Plaintiff,

v.

SHERRY LOPEZ, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:10-cv-1409-BAM PC

ORDER REQUIRING DEFENDANTS TO

RESPOND TO MOTION FOR AN ORDER 

COMPELLING DISCOVERY

(ECF No. 53)

FOURTEEN-DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Kelvin Sims is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil

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

On November 29, 2012, Plaintiff filed a motion to compel Defendants Lopez and Akanno

to produce “entire” documents in response to his Request for Production of Documents, Set One. 

(ECF No. 51.) On December 4, 2012, Defendants Lopez and Akanno filed an opposition to the

motion and stated that they had served responses to Plaintiff’s discovery requests. (ECF No. 52.) 

On January22, 2013, the Court found Plaintiff’s motion procedurallydeficient and denied Plaintiff’s

motion without prejudice. (ECF No. 54.)

On December 28, 2012, after Defendants filed their opposition to the November 29, 2012

motion and before the Court issued its January 22, 2013 order, Plaintiff filed a second motion for

an order compelling discovery. (ECF No. 53.) By his motion, Plaintiff asserts that he served a

Request for Production of Documents, Set One on September 16, 2012, but Defendants have not

produced documents responsive to requests numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. 

Defendants have not filed an opposition or a statement of non-opposition to the motion.
