UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Anthony Tyrone Campbell Sr. is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion to compel third-party witness, Dr. David 

Rohrdanz, to attend a deposition by telephone. Plaintiff’s motion must be denied. 

Plaintiff has failed to provide sufficient justification for the requested deposition of Dr. David 

Rohrdanz, and his motion for leave to conduct such depositions must be denied. In addition, Plaintiff 

has not stated how he will pay for the deposition costs and non-party witness fees pursuant to Rule 45 

of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and there is no stipulation by Defendants to produce the 

witness identified by Plaintiff. Furthermore, Plaintiff is required to pay for the recording of the 

depositions pursuant to Rule 30, and Plaintiff provides no indication that he can pay such expenses.

Although Plaintiff is proceeding in forma pauperis, such status does not entitle him to waiver of 

witness fees, mileage or deposition officer fees. For these reasons, Plaintiff’s motion must be denied

without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
