UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JUAN LEWIS GALLARDO,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. RAINWATER, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:14-cv-1339 KJM CKD P

ORDER

 On November 9, 2015, the court denied plaintiff’s motion for an order compelling 

defendants to provide further responses to plaintiff’s requests for discovery. On December 3, 

2015, plaintiff filed “objections” to that order. Plaintiff’s “objections” will be overruled as

plaintiff still fails to point to an improper response made by defendants to a timely and relevant 

request for discovery. 

 The court notes that in his “objections” plaintiff indicates that he requested certain reports 

authored March 14, 2014; October 11, 2011 and April 3, 2014. Defendants claimed those 

documents are privileged and identified them in a privilege log. The acts of excessive force 

claimed by plaintiff occurred on October 20, 2012. Plaintiff has not indicated how the documents 

identified above, authored well before or after October 20, 2012, are relevant to this case. Also, 

in request for production number 3, plaintiff sought:

All documents that evidence, mention, or refer to the assault/use of 

force on Plaintiff by [defendants], on August 20, 2012, including 

but not limited to medical records, incident reports, statements an 

[sic] other investigative material, and documents relating to 

subsequent inmate and staff discipline, if any.” 

Defendants turned over documents in response to this request and did not identify any documents 

responsive to this request in their privilege log. ECF No. 31 at 42. 

For the foregoing reasons, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the “objection to court’s 

denial of motion to compel” submitted December 3, 2015 is overruled. 

Dated: December 14, 2015
