Opinion

Civil Action No. 06-cv-00763-WYD-BNB.

October 1, 2007

ORDER

BOYD BOLAND, Magistrate Judge

This matter is before me on the following motions filed by the plaintiff (the "Motions"):

1. Plaintiff's Motion to Compel [Doc. #40, filed 4/25/07]; and

2. Plaintiff's Second Motion to Compel [Doc. #49, filed 7/3/07].

The plaintiff seeks an order compelling prison counselors, W. Haygood and L. Madison, and case manager, K. Flock, to immediately return his legal personal property concerning this action.

Haygood, Madison, and Flock are not parties to this case. Therefore, the Court does not have jurisdiction over them. Moreover, the rules of civil procedure permit a party to file a motion to compel in order to enforce a discovery request. Fed.R.Civ.P. 37. The plaintiff is not seeking to enforce a discovery request.

IT IS ORDERED that the Motions are DENIED.
