vs.

SACRAMENTO COUNTY JAIL, et al., 

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a former county jail inmate proceeding pro se with a civil rights action

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 23, 2005, he filed a request for forms to allow him to subpoena

witnesses incarcerated in both California and federal prisons and civilian witnesses. 

In paragraphs I and II of the scheduling order issued November 18, 2004, the court

outlined the procedures plaintiff must follow to secure the presence of incarcerated witnesses. 

Plaintiff’s request for subpoenas and forms for such witnesses does not comply with the

scheduling order and is denied.

Plaintiff is directed to paragraphs III and IV of the scheduling order for the

requirements for subpoenaing civilian witnesses. Although plaintiff may request blank subpoena

forms from the Clerk of the Court, he has not suggested the number of such documents he needs.

On June 24, 2005, plaintiff filed a motion for an extension of time to file his
