ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR ORDER TO INTERVENE

THERESA L. FRICKE, Magistrate Judge.

This matter comes before the Court on plaintiff's "Motion for Order to Entervene" (sic) (Dkt. 68). For the reasons discussed below, plaintiff's motion (Dkt. 68) is denied.

Plaintiff's motion requests, in part, that the Court direct the "Kitsap County Jail Sheriff's administration to": (1) "assist plaintiff in phone calls to contact defendants attorneys of record"; (2) "[provide] access to a phone that is not recording plaintiff's conversations with other attorneys" (namely defense counsel); and (3) "assist him in reviewing medical records in the control of Kitsap County Jail and Conmed/Correct Care Solution Healthcare Management Services possession related to this cause." Dkt. 68, at 2.

Plaintiff's motion appears to seek the Court's intervention in facilitating discovery. Plaintiff's motion and attached exhibits indicate he is seeking to schedule discovery-related conferences pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f), and to review medical records related to this case. Dkt. 68.

Pursuant to this Court's order dated September 12, 2018, (Dkt. 62) all discovery is stayed pending decision on defendants Fitzwater and Lewis' motion to dismiss (Dkt. 30). The Court further notes that because this is an "action brought without an attorney by a person in the custody of . . . a state subdivision", this proceeding is exempt from the conference requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f). Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(B)(iv). For these reasons, this branch of plaintiff's motion is denied.

Plaintiff also requests that the Court "direct the jail's legal assistance [sic] Susan Rodges not enterfer [sic] in these proceedings causing serious delays and prejudice to . . .[plaintiff's] attempt to settle case." Dkt. 68, at 2. However, plaintiff fails to explain how he believes Ms. Rodges is interfering with these proceedings. To the extent plaintiff's complaints with respect to Ms. Rodges are also related to his attempts to pursue discovery, plaintiff is reminded that, pursuant to this Court's order, all discovery is currently stayed pending decision on the motion to dismiss (Dkt. 30). Accordingly, this branch of plaintiff's motion is also denied.

CONCLUSION

Plaintiff's motion (Dkt. 68) is DENIED in its entirety. The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this order to the plaintiff and counsel for defendants.
