I. The Motion To Compel (Docket No. 48)

The motion with respect to Request No. 2 is granted, but limited to complaints

The motion with respect to Request for Production of Documents, Nos. 5 and 10,

is denied as moot. The motion with respect to Request Nos. 8 and 11 is denied. The motion

with respect to Request Nos. 1 and 12 is denied as premature, with the understanding that

plaintiff will be eligible for preferred user access to the law library within the thirty days

preceding a future court deadline. 

The motion with respect to Request Nos. 3, 6 and 9 is denied, but with the

understanding Mr. Lee will remind the prison’s litigation coordinator that plaintiff should be

given access to his central file and to his medical file.

The motion with respect to Request No. 4 is denied, in light of the defendants’

having produced a twelve page report from the Inmate Appeals Tracking System. If Mr. Lee

locates additional reports identifying screened out grievances, he may supplement this production

within the next forty-five days.

The motion with respect to Request No. 7 is denied, but Mr. Lee will determine

whether employee sign-in sheets are available and if they are provide them within forty-five days. 

Both sides have asked for the imposition of sanctions, but the court does not find

that sanctions are warranted.

II. Motion For Return of Property And For Law Library Access (Docket No. 57)

Because plaintiff has received his legal property, the portion of the motion seeking

its return is denied as moot. His request for law library access also is denied, with the

understanding that he will be eligible for preferred user status in the thirty days preceding any

future court deadline.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: May 7, 2010.
