IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DESHAWN MALONE,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-0363 FCD KJM P

vs.

CORRECTIONAL OFFICER

MARTINEZ,

Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a California prisoner proceeding pro se with an action for violation of

civil rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has filed a motion asking that the court order the

California Department of Corrections to submit all of defendant’s personnel records for possible

use by plaintiff while cross-examining defendant at trial. The only legal authority plaintiff cites

in support of his request is Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 31, but that rule concerns depositions

by written questions. In any case, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure do not provide authority

for the action requested by plaintiff. Plaintiff’s request will be denied.
