UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AHKEEM WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff,

v.

KIM PEDRIERO, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:12-cv-00606-SKO PC

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO COMPEL, 

WITHOUT PREJUDICE, AS 

PROCEDURALLY DEFICIENT

(Doc. 50)

Plaintiff Akheem Williams, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed 

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on April 17, 2012. This action is proceeding 

against Defendants Garcia, Valdiz, Cortez, Silva, Castro, Day, Stephens, Collier, Torres, Delia, 

and Tordson for use of excessive physical force, in violation of the United States Constitution. 

On September 16, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion to compel. Defendants filed a response on 

October 1, 2013.

Plaintiff’s motion to compel is not supported by copies of the discovery requests in dispute 

and Defendants’ responses, if any. By order filed October 3, 2013, Plaintiff was placed on notice 

of the need to support his motions to compel with copies of the discovery requests at issue and the 

responses, if any. (Doc. 57.) The Court recognizes that Plaintiff did not have the benefit of that 

order at the time he filed this motion to compel, but nevertheless, the Court cannot reach the 

merits of Plaintiff’s motion in light of its procedural deficiencies.
