This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s First Request Asking for Depositions for the Following

Defendants (#48), filed June 18, 2010. 

Plaintiff Al Fisher moves under Fed.R.Civ.P. 30 that the Court order Defendants Hanks, Plainer,

Robertson, Savage and Shelton to appear to be deposed. (#48). Defendants respond that they have never

been served with a notice of deposition as required by Rule 30. (#49). Under Fed.R.Civ.P. 30(a)(2)(B), a

party confined in prison must seek leave of the Court to depose someone. Plaintiff is entitled to depose the

defendants in this action and the Court will grant him leave to do so. He should arrange a time and place with

the prison to conduct the depositions and properly notice the depositions as required by Fed.R.Civ.P. 30(b).

In addition, the Court notes that the close of discovery is approaching. The parties may petition the

Court to extend discovery if they believe an extension is necessary. Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s First Request Asking for Depositions for the Following

Defendants (#48) is granted. Plaintiff should arrange a time and place for the depositions with prison

authorities and properly notice the depositions.

DATED this 11th day of August, 2010.
