UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANNY DEAN DELL’ANTONIA,

Plaintiff,

v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. CV-F-00-6602 REC SMS P

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

SUBPOENAS AS PREMATURE

(Doc. 171)

Plaintiff Danny Dean Dell’Antonia (“Plaintiff”) is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On December 9, 2005, Plaintiff filed a

motion seeking the issuance of subpoenas so that he may seek the current locations of his inmate

witnesses. Fed. R. Civ. P. 45.

Plaintiff’s motion is premature. If this matter is set for trial, Plaintiff will be provided with

the opportunity to file a motion seeking the attendance of incarcerated witnesses. If Plaintiff’s

motion is granted in full or in part, the Court will be able to determine which prisons the inmates for

whom Plaintiff provided CDC numbers are housed at. If those inmates are no longer in prison, and

for the one inmate for whom Plaintiff did not provide a CDC number, if subpoenas to ascertain their

locations are necessary, the Court will address the issue in the pre-trial proceedings, to be scheduled.

Additionally, Plaintiff is notified that if and when this matter is set for trial and Plaintiff is given the

deadline by which to file his motion, Plaintiff should include the first names of the inmate witnesses,

if known.
