ORDER

TIMOTHY BLACK, Magistrate Judge

On September 13, 2006, pro se plaintiff Jason Landis filed a document captioned "Plaintiff's First Request For Production of Documents." (Doc. 22.)

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provide that discovery requests and responses "must not" be filed with the court until they are used in the proceeding or the court orders otherwise. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 5(d). Discovery requests and responses normally are exchanged between the parties without any copy sent to the court. See Morris v. McGrath, No. C 04-3142SI(PR), 2006 WL 870965, at *1 (N.D. Cal. Apr. 3, 2006).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREIN ORDERED that "Plaintiff's First Request For Production of Documents" (Doc 22) is STRICKEN. Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(f).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
