CASE NO. 1:08-cv-00136-GSA PC

ORDER DENYING MOTIONS FOR 

COPY OF C-FILE, SETTLEMENT, AND

RETURN OF FILING

(Docs. 73, 74, and 75)

This is a civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 by Plaintiff John Ray Dynes,

a prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis. This action is proceeding on Plaintiff’s amended

complaint, filed April 24, 2008, against Defendants Juan Medina and David Williams for use of

excessive physical force, in violation of the Eighth Amendment, and is set for jury trial on March

15, 2010. 

On February 11, 2010, Plaintiff filed a motion seeking the production of his prison c-file and

a motion seeking settlement, and on February 12, 2010, Plaintiff filed a motion seeking the return

of court document number 59. 

The discovery phase of this litigation is over, and it is too late for Plaintiff to be seeking the

production of any documents, either from Defendants or via the issuance of a subpoena under Fed.

R. Civ. P. 45. 

Further, Defendants are aware of Plaintiff’s settlement offers via the filing of this motion and

the filing of Plaintiff’s previous motion on December 21, 2009. If Defendants are interested in

settlement, they will contact Plaintiff. The Court will not order a settlement conference unless all

parties request one and the Court cannot order that the parties settle this matter.

Finally, court document 59 is part of the official record in this action and Plaintiff may not

seek return of the filing.

Therefore, Plaintiff’s motions, filed on February 11, 2010, and February 12, 2010, are

HEREBY DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
