IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL M. COTTRELL,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-07-2574 GEB EFB P

vs.

R.K. WONG, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

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

U.S.C. § 1983. On July 16, 2010, defendants submitted a motion to conduct plaintiff’s

deposition via video-conference, in order to avoid travel expenditures that would be incurred if

defense counsel were required to travel to plaintiff’s place of incarceration. See Fed. R. Civ. P.

30(b)(4) (providing that, on motion, the court may order that a deposition be taken by remote

means). Plaintiff has filed no opposition to the request.

Good cause appearing, it is ORDERED that defendants’ request to take plaintiff’s

deposition by video-conference is granted.

DATED: August 11, 2010.
