SHAWNCEY BLAKE,

Plaintiff,

v.

GILLOTE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-03727-HSG (PR) 

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTIONS TO COMPEL

Re: Dkt. Nos. 62, 66

On July 13, 2015, plaintiff filed a motion for discovery of peace officers’ personnel 

records, seeking records of disciplinary actions, complaints, and investigations concerning 

defendants. Dkt. No. 62. On July 30, 2015, plaintiff filed a second motion seeking discovery of 

the same documents and asking that defense counsel meet and confer with him. Dkt. No. 66.

The record shows that plaintiff did not serve his discovery requests until August 6, 2015

and defense counsel did not receive them until August 12, 2015. See Dkt. No. 68. Accordingly, 

plaintiff’s motions to compel are DENIED as premature. The denial is without prejudice to 

plaintiff filing a motion to compel at some later date, but only after he has received defendants’ 

responses to his discovery request and has attempted to resolve any disagreements with opposing 

counsel before filing such a motion. 

This order terminates Docket Nos. 62 and 66.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 21, 2015
