IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BOB SAVAGE,

Plaintiff, No. 2:08-cv-1346 LKK JFM (PC)

vs.

SUZAN HUBBARD, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 12, 2010, plaintiff filed a motion to compel further responses to

his first request for production of documents. Plaintiff also seeks expenses. Defendants oppose

the motion. 

The discovery request at issue was the subject of an order filed December 23,

2009, in which defendants were granted forty-five days to respond to the request. Order filed

December 23, 2009, at 3. Although it is not entirely clear from the motion before the court, it

appears that defendants’ response to the request consisted entirely of objections. Plaintiff

contends generally that it is apparent that “each and every document requested by the Plaintiff is

reasonably relevant to the case and that it is not privileged in any way.” Motion, filed February

12, 2010, at 2. However, plaintiff has not included a copy of either the discovery request or the

contested responses. For that reason, the court is unable to evaluate the merits of plaintiff’s

general challenge to defendants’ responses and finds, therefore, that plaintiff has failed to meet

his burden on the motion before the court. Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion to compel and his

request for expenses will be denied. 

For the foregoing reasons, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s February

12, 2010 motion to compel and for expenses is denied.

DATED: April 6, 2010.
