UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ARCHIE CRANFORD,

Plaintiff,

v.

DR. RISLEY, 

Defendant.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00949 LJO DLB PC

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION FOR DISCOVERY

(Document 17)

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

pauperis, filed this civil rights action on June 24, 2015. On February 25, 2016, the Court dismissed 

his First Amended Complaint with leave to amend. Plaintiff filed his Second Amended Complaint 

on March 8, 2016, and it is awaiting screening.

On March 14, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion for discovery. Discovery, however, will not 

open unless and until the Court finds that Plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint states a cognizable 

claim for relief and Defendants file an answer. Additionally, when and if discovery does open, 

discovery requests must be directed at the opposing party, and should not be filed with the Court. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 15, 2016 /s/ Dennis L. Beck 

UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
