IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ABDULLAH MUHAMMAD,

Plaintiff, CV F 04 5534 AWI WMW P

vs. ORDER RE MOTION (DOC 26 )

R. S. ORTIZ, et al.,

Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in a civil rights action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion filed on December 20, 2004. 

Plaintiff’s motion is titled as “ Motion to enter Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 11(b)(3) 28

U.S.C.A.” Rule 26 discovery disagreement.” A review of the motion, however, reveals that

plaintiff seeks to discover the business address of defendant Ortiz. Plaintiff is not proceeding in

forma pauperis, and has attempted service upon defendant Ortiz. The court notes that discovery

in this case closed on March 18, 2005. Because plaintiff’s motion was filed before that date, the

court will continue discovery for the limited purpose of plaintiff’s motion to discover the

business address of defendant Ortiz. The court will grant defendants an opportunity to file

opposition, if any, to the motion. Defendant’s opposition, if any, is due thirty days from the date

of service of this order.
