No. C 05-1842 JSW (PR)

ORDER REGARDING PENDING

MOTIONS

(Docket no. 23)

Plaintiff, a prisoner of the State of California, currently incarcerated at the Correctional

Training Facility in Soledad, California, filed this pro se civil rights action pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining of deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. On

February 27, 2007, the Court denied summary judgment as to Defendant Fernandez and

ordered the Clerk to request a forwarding address for Defendant Nurse L. Lough from the

Legal Affairs Department of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation

(“CDCR”) so that the Court could order a further attempt at service by the United States

Marshal (“USM”) (docket no. 19). On May 3, 2007, after CDCR was unable to provide a

current address for Lough, the Court ordered Plaintiff to provide the Court with sufficient

information regarding unserved Defendant Lough to allow for service within sixty days of the

Court’s order. On July 3, 2007, Plaintiff moved for an extension of time and for an order

compelling the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide certain

information regarding Defendant Lough (docket no. 23). 

Plaintiff’s motion seeking an extension of time in which to provide the required

identifying information to the Court is GRANTED. Plaintiff is provided with an additional

sixty days in which to provide this information to the Court. Failure to do so within that time

will result in the dismissal of the remaining unserved Defendant without prejudice. Walker v.

Sumner, 14 F.3d 1415, 1421-22 (9th Cir. 1994).

However, Plaintiff’s motion to compel discovery is DENIED without prejudice for

failure to comply with the meet-and-confer requirement of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(

a) and Local Rule 37-1. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(a) (motion to compel must include a

certification that the movant has in good faith conferred or attempted to confer with the party

not making the disclosure in an effort to secure the disclosure without court action); N D Cal

Local Rule 37-1 ( same). Before attempting to compel discovery, Plaintiff must first seek the

information through discovery under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26. This order

TERMINATES Plaintiff’s motion (docket no. 23).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: July 10, 2007
