Love v. Medical Unit E FMWCC

Opinion

3 * * * 4 SHERRI L. LOVE, Case No. 2:20-cv-00525-JAD-EJY 5 Plaintiff, 6 v. ORDER 7 MEDICAL UNIT E FMWCC, et al., 8 Defendants. 9 10 Pending before the Court are Plaintiff’s Motion for Query and Motion for Various Relief. 11 ECF Nos. 88 and 89. Plaintiff’s Motion for Query asks the Court to confirm various discovery 12 deadlines. ECF No. 88 at 1. Plaintiff’s Motion for Various Relief asks the Court to “dismiss” the 13 Attorney General’s request for attorneys’ fees and prevent the Attorney General from presenting 14 evidence of Plaintiff’s 2007 criminal charge. ECF No. 89 at 1. 15 As the Court stated in its last Order “it is inappropriate for the Court to act as counsel for 16 Plaintiff or otherwise advocate for Plaintiff in this action.” ECF No. 87 at 1; see also, Pineda v. 17 Hutchins, Case No. 2:20-CV-02312-GMN-BNW, 2021 WL 3709231, at *2 (D. Nev. Aug. 18, 18 2021) (“[d]istrict judges have no obligation to act as counsel or paralegal to pro se litigants.”). 19 Although the Court is mindful of the challenges pro se litigants face, the Court is not an appropriate 20 resource for Plaintiff’s continued questions. Plaintiff must read the documents she receives from 21 the Court and otherwise, communicate with opposing counsel regarding discovery issues. 22 Plaintiff’s Motion for Various Relief similarly does not request relief the Court can 23 provide. The Court’s role is not to act as an advocate on behalf of Plaintiff, and the Court cannot 24 intervene on Plaintiff’s behalf absent legitimate grounds for relief. Defendants are entitled to 25 defend the action against them, which Plaintiff brought voluntarily. As such, Plaintiff is 26 responsible for moving her case forward and cooperating with Defendants throughout these 27 proceedings. 28 1 The Court advises Plaintiff to carefully review the Orders issued in this case, including the 2 Scheduling Order, so that she may understand her obligations in the action. 3 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Query (ECF No. 88) 4 is DENIED. 5 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall mail one copy of the Scheduling 6 Order (ECF No. 36) to Plaintiff. 7 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Various Relief (ECF No. 89) is 9 DATED this 23rd day of March, 2022. 10
