DISCOVERY REQUESTS

(ECF No. 16)

Plaintiff Archie Cranford (“Plaintiff”) is a civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is proceeding on

Plaintiff’s complaint, filed May 9, 2011, against Defendant Badagon for excessive force in violation

of the Fourteenth Amendment. Defendant Badagon filed an answer to the complaint on July 24,

2012. On August 10, 2012, Plaintiff filed a response to the answer to the complaint and discovery

requests. (ECF No. 16.)

The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provide, in relevant part, that there shall be a

complaint, an answer, and a reply to an answer if the court orders one. Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(a). The

Court has not ordered a reply to the answer and declines to make such an order. Therefore Plaintiff’s

response to the answer shall be stricken from the record. 

Additionally, the court cannot serve as a repository for the parties’ evidence and Plaintiff is

advised that discovery requests are not to be filed with the Court.
