On October 7, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting entry of default as to Defendant L. 

Cahlander. Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). However, at the time Plaintiff filed his motion, the complaint had 

not yet been screened and the Court had not yet authorized service of process. Plaintiff’s motion 

was clearly premature and must be dismissed.

On October 28, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion to present documents relating to exhaustion of 

his administrative appeals. Insofar as exhaustion appears to be at issue in this case,2the Court finds 

Plaintiff’s submission to be relevant. However, Plaintiff should file these documents as exhibits to 

 

1 The parties have consented to the jurisdiction of the Magistrate Judge. 

2 Defendant filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to exhaust on April 18, 2014.

his opposition to Defendant’s motion(s) relating to exhaustion.

On November 8, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion to forward surgery documents to the Court. It 

appears Plaintiff is seeking to submit evidence in the form of medical records. Plaintiff is advised 

that the Court cannot serve as a repository for the parties' evidence (i.e., prison or medical records, 

affidavits, etc.). The parties may not file evidence with the Court until the course of litigation brings 

the evidence into question (for example, on a motion for summary judgment, at trial, or when 

requested by the Court). Therefore, Plaintiff’s motion will be denied.

ORDER

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

1) Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment is DENIED without prejudice;

2) Plaintiff’s motion to submit documentation concerning exhaustion is DENIED, 

without prejudice to including the documents as exhibits to his opposition to Defendant’s motion;

and

3) Plaintiff’s motion to forward medical records is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
