WHITMAN KNAPP, Senior United States District Judge.
Plaintiff Jerry Perez ("Plaintiff") is currently an inmate at the Auburn Correctional Facility. Plaintiff brought this excessive force action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in order to recover damages for an alleged assault he suffered at the hands of three correctional officers, Defendants M. Blot ("Blot"), P. Frazier ("Frazier"), and J. White ("White") (collectively "Defendants"), while he was an inmate at the Sing Sing Correctional Facility. Plaintiff has sought discovery as to, inter alia, the various grievance efforts, both formal and informal, which he pursued to exhaust his administrative remedies in regards to that assault as well as any investigations which may have resulted therefrom. However, Defendants refuse to provide discovery beyond that which relates to Plaintiff's formal grievance efforts pursuant to the procedure enumerated in 7 N.Y. COMP. CODES R. R., tit. 7, § 701, et seq., until we first address their forthcoming motion to dismiss Plaintiff's action on the grounds that he failed to exhaust his administrative remedies as required by the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a).
