UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Will Moses Palmer, III, (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated this action on 

April 28, 2006. (ECF No. 1.) This action now proceeds on Plaintiff’s second amended complaint 

against Defendants Jordnt and Bardonnex for retaliation and denial of access to the courts. (ECF Nos. 

111, 112, 122.) 

On September 20, 2013, Defendants filed a request seeking leave to depose Plaintiff, who is

incarcerated at Kern Valley State Prison, by videoconference. Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(b)(4) (on motion, 

court may order that a deposition be taken by telephone or other remote means). Defendants explain 

that both the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the Attorney General’s 

Office are operating under severe financial constraints and a video conference will eliminate 

unnecessary travel expenses.
