IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MANUEL AYALA, No. CIV S-04-0903-RRB-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

ANDREASEN, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On September 28, 2007, the court granted plaintiff leave to propound

written deposition questions pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 31. The court directed

plaintiff to serve and file proposed questions. Defendant was then provided an opportunity to file

objections. 

Plaintiff has filed and served proposed written deposition questions to defendants

Bick, Andreasen, and Enriquez (Docs. 72, 73, and 74). Defendant Andreasen filed and served

responses and objections on December 21, 2007 (Docs. 84 and 85). Defendant Enriquez filed

and served responses and objections to plaintiff’s question nos. 7 through 11 only on December

21, 2007 (Doc. 86). Defendant Enriquez has not filed objections to any other questions.

Defendant Bick has not filed any objections whatsoever.

Plaintiff propounds 30 questions to defendant Andreasen. Defendant Andreasen

has responded, without objections, to plaintiff’s question nos. 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18,

19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 29. As to all other questions, defendant Andreasen raised

various objections, but nonetheless responded without waiving such objections. Because all

questions have been answered, the court need not make any further orders with respect to

depositions questions to Andreasen. 

Plaintiff propounds 15 questions to defendant Enriquez who has only filed

responses with respect to question nos. 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. Defendant Enriquez has not filed

objections to any of plaintiff’s questions. Therefore, objections are waived. Defendant will be

required to serve answers to plaintiff’s remaining questions, without objection. 

Plaintiff propounds 30 questions to defendant Bick, who has not filed responses or

objections to any question. Therefore, objections are waived and defendant Bick will be required

to serve answers to all of plaintiff’s questions, without objection. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the Court shall forward to counsel for defendants copies of

plaintiff’s written deposition questions (Docs. 72, 73, and 74); and

2. Within 30 days of the date of this order, defendants shall serve plaintiff

with responses consistent with this order.

DATED: January 11, 2008
