IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JULIUS CARTER ANDERSON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-0817 MCE KJM P

vs.

W. HARTLEY, et al.,

Defendants. 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 to compel discovery. On

September 29, 2006, the court ordered defendants to respond to several of plaintiff’s discovery

requests. In his motion, plaintiff appears dissatisfied with the manner in which defendants met

their obligations to turn over certain documents. However, defendants have demonstrated that

they did provide plaintiff with all responsive documents in their control or possession. The court

cannot compel defendants to produce that which they do not have. Plaintiff’s motion will be

denied. Plaintiff also asks that the court sanction defendants. Based on the foregoing, there is no

cause for sanctions.
