UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FEDERICO HERNANDEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. HERNANDEZ, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:13-cv-01625-MJS (PC)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK’S OFFICE 

TO RETURN TRIAL EXHIBITS TO 

PLAINTIFF’S COUNSEL

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The action proceeds against Defendants 

Hernandez, Zambrano, Clark, Rodriguez, and Martin on Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment 

excessive force claim. Trial is set for August 11, 2015. (ECF No. 86.) Plaintiff recently 

obtained volunteer counsel. (ECF No. 103.)

On July 13, 2015, the Court received what appear to be Plaintiff’s trial exhibits. 

Plaintiff submitted the original and four copies of each exhibit. Plaintiff was required to 

submit five copies of each exhibit. The exhibits are not marked in conformance with

the pretrial order. Nor do they appear to include the required exhibit list. Accordingly, 

the Clerk’s Office will be directed to return the documents to Plaintiff’s counsel. 

Plaintiff’s counsel shall prepare and re-submit Plaintiff’s trial exhibits by the July 21, 

2015 deadline. (See ECF No. 92.)
