UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES S. ALEXANDER,

Plaintiff,

v.

SOLANO COUNTY DETENTION 

FACILITY, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:13-cv-2566 GEB CKD P

ORDER

The parties’ motions for summary judgment are pending in this pro se prisoner action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF Nos. 22, 39.) Before the court are two recent motions by 

plaintiff. (ECF Nos. 41, 44.)

The first motion consists of a request to a federal agency, pursuant to the Freedom of 

Information Act, to review an April 2013 video. (ECF No. 41.) The second is a “motion to 

locate and preserve Solano County Detention Facility Surveillance Camera Video Files” 

concerning the April 26, 2013 incident. (ECF No. 44.) Plaintiff asserts that this video “will show 

[defendant’s] use of excessive force” against him. (Id. at 2.) 

The Discovery and Scheduling Order in this action required all motions necessary to 

compel discovery to be filed by September 5, 2014. (ECF No. 19 at 5.) As plaintiff has provided 

no compelling reason to modify the scheduling order, his discovery motions are untimely.
