UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WAYNE D. SMITH,

Plaintiff,

v.

OFFICER JOHN GIOVANNINI, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-1410 DB PS

ORDER

The parties have consented to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction over this action pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 636(c)(1). (ECF No. 27.) On December 21, 2016, plaintiff filed a notice of 

interlocutory appeal. (ECF No. 31.) On February 3, 2017, plaintiff filed a motion for transcripts

of a prior proceeding for “perfection of Plaintiff’s Appeal . . . .” (ECF No. 34 at 1.) However, on 

March 1, 2017, the Ninth Circuit dismissed plaintiff’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction. (ECF No. 

38.) Plaintiff’s request for transcripts will, therefore, be denied. 

Also on February 3, 2017, plaintiff filed a document, styled as a motion, objecting to 

defendant’s interrogatories. (ECF No. 35.) Discovery responses are not filed with the court. 

Should a discovery dispute arise, plaintiff is advised to consult the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure, Local Rule 251, and the undersigned’s Standard Information re discovery disputes set 

forth on the court’s web page. See http://www.caed.uscourts.gov/caednew/index.cfm/judges/alljudges/united-states-magistrate-judge-deborah-barnes-db
