UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

VANCE EDWARD JOHNSON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

D.L. RUNNELS, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:04-cv-776-TLN-EFB P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. In accordance with the court’s June 2, 2015 and July 1, 2015 orders (ECF Nos. 

285 and 289), plaintiff has submitted a motion to secure the attendance at trial of five incarcerated 

witnesses. ECF No. 290. Plaintiff has made the required showing, and the court hereby 

GRANTS plaintiff’s motion to secure the attendance at trial of incarcerated witnesses Oatey 

(CDCR #H25273), Wash (CDCR #T68036), Thrower (CDCR #J05979), and Sandley (CDCR 

#T52235). The court will issue writs of habeas corpus ad testificandum to secure these witnesses’ 

attendance in the weeks leading up to the February 8, 2016 trial. 

 Plaintiff’s motion does not identify proposed witness Dwayne Richardson by CDCR 

number. In searching the department’s online inmate database 

(http://inmatelocator.cdcr.ca.gov/search.aspx), the court could not locate a “Dwayne” Richardson.
