MICHAEL DOUGLAS FRAZIER PLAINTIFF

ADC #151108

v. CASE NO. 3:16-CV-00224-BSM

DAVID CARTER &

ZACH WOLVERTON DEFENDANTS

 

ORDER

Plaintiff Michael Frazier’s motion to compel [Doc. No. 12] is denied because

defendants David Carter and Zach Wolverton certified that the requested materials do not exist

or are not in their possession. Doc. No. 13-2 (defendants’ responses); Fed. R. Civ. P. 34(a)(1)

(party may request production of materials “in the responding party’s possession, custody, or

control”). Frazier’s request for an order compelling discovery of inventorymaterials is denied

because he has not requested those materials from the defendants. See Fed. R. Civ.

P.37(a)(3)(B) (party may move to compel after responding party fails to respond to request). 

Frazier is reminded that he must attempt to resolve discovery disputes before filing a motion

to compel and certify that he has done so in his motion. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(a).

IT IS SO ORDERED this 19th day of January 2017.
