ORDER
ALLISON CLAIRE, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter is currently in the discovery phase. A potentially dispositive motion for summary judgment has also been filed by defendants. See ECF No. 38.
On August 31, 2017, plaintiff filed a motion to compel discovery. ECF No. 36. In it, he asserted that the interrogatories he had served on defendants "Dr. John" and "Dr. Prisil" that were dated June 28, 2017 had not been responded to in a timely manner, and he effectively requested that the court order defendants to respond to them. See generally id. at 1-2.
On September 20, 2017, defendants filed a response to plaintiff's motion. ECF No. 37. In it, defendants stated that defendant Don Purcell1 had served initial and amended responses to plaintiff's discovery on September 8, 2017 and September 11, 2017, respectively, and that defendant John Maike2 had served his responses to plaintiff's discovery on September 5, 2017. See ECF No. 37. Since then, neither party has communicated to this court that they have had additional problems with the receipt of discovery responses. On this record, the court concludes that plaintiff has received responsive discovery from defendants.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiff's August 31, 2017 motion to compel discovery (ECF No. 36) is DENIED as moot, and
2. The Clerk of Court is to correct the spellings of the names of the defendants in the case caption of the docket to reflect the true and complete spellings and/or identities of defendants as follows:
a. Defendant "Prisil" is to be corrected to "Don Purcell":
b. Defendant "John" is to be corrected to "John Maike";
c. Defendant "Yuo" is to be corrected to "Hae-Sook Yuo, M.D.", and
d. Defendant "Angie Jin" is to be corrected to "Angie Jin, R.N."
