MORALES, Defendant : : 3:03CV1001 (JCH) : : : : : MARCH 11, 2004 RULE 16 STATUS MEMORANDUM This is a simple excessive force case by an incarcerated inmate. He contends that in the course of a lawful arrest, he was beaten. He has pleaded guilty to the charges against him and is serving his sentence. The defendants have moved for sanctions as a result of the plaintiff's failure to respond in a timely manner to discovery. The plaintiff contends that he has complied, and has sent his responses to his parents, who failed to relay them to the undersigned. The undersigned has not been able to confirm this as the parents do not speak English. Although the plaintiff is ready for trial, the defendant is not, and cannot prepare adequately without the plaintiff's discovery responses. Plaintiff's counsel is seeking more time to respond to the defendant's discovery.
