CASE NO. 1:08-cv-00653-AWI-SKO PC

ORDER GRANTING MOTIONS FOR

ORDER FILED OCTOBER 11, 2011, AND

DIRECTING CLERK’S OFFICE TO SEND

PLAINTIFF A COPY OF RULE 31

Plaintiff Alex Lamota Marti, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on May 9, 2008. On October 11, 2011, the

Court issued an order which, in relevant part, denied Plaintiff’s motion for leave to depose a

nonparty witness by written questions, and granted Plaintiff thirty days within which to make the

requisite showing regarding his ability to depose Correctional Officer R. D. Couch in compliance

with Rule 31. Fed. R. Civ. P. 31. Plaintiff filed motions seeking an extension of time to make the

requisite showing on November 4, 2011, and on November 28, 2011. In addition, Plaintiff seeks a

copy of Rule 31, which the Clerk’s Office was directed to provide but purportedly did not.
