DISTRICT JUDGE SEAN F. COX
MAGISTRATE JUDGE MARK A. RANDON
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFFS' MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY (DKT. NO. 21)
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff Samuel Surles' Motion to Compel Discovery. (Dkt. No. 21). Surles asks the Court for an order compelling the Defendants to produce documents he requested on November 22, 2011.
However, the Complaint in this case was filed and signed by Davis Totten; Surles did not sign the Complaint nor has this Court certified the case as a class action. "Pro se prisoners generally may not bring class action lawsuits concerning prison conditions." Dodson v. Wilkinson, 304 Fed. Appx. 434, 438 (6th Cir. 2008) (citations omitted). Accordingly, Plaintiff Surles' Motion is DENIED.
