MINUTE ORDER
ORDER ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KATHLEEN M. TAFOYA
Plaintiff's "Motion for Discovery" (Doc. No. 92, filed August 22, 2012) is DENIED. Although discovery will be stayed as to all defendants, in the event that discovery is allowed to proceed in the future, the court reminds Plaintiff that the proper process for facilitating discovery is outlined in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 34. Therein, Plaintiff will find, clearly outlined, the steps necessary to further discovery as to any of the defendants. Above all, requests are to be directed at the opposing party/parties, rather than routed through the court. Although "Plaintiff is not a Lawyer and is sometimes perplexed by what he reads," (Doc. No. 92 at 3) he nonetheless must abide by the same rules that all litigants must abide by, whether proceeding pro se or represented by counsel.
