UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Kevin Darnell Bryant (“Plaintiff”) is state prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis in 

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action proceeds on Plaintiff’s claims against 

Defendant Romero for deliberate indifference to serious medical needs in violation of the Eighth 

Amendment, and against Defendants Gallagher and Romero for conspiracy, retaliation in violation of 

the First Amendment, and failure to protect in violation of the Eighth Amendment. All parties have 

consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction. (ECF Nos. 7, 231.) 

On October 12, 2016, the Court granted Plaintiff’s motion to vacate and continue the trial date 

in this matter. (ECF No. 291.) On October 13, 2016, the Court issued an order recalling service of 

subpoenas on Plaintiff’s unincarcerated witnesses who had not yet been served as of that date. The 

Court also instructed that any unserved witness fees be returned to the Court for their later return to 

Plaintiff. 

The United States Marshal complied with the Court’s order, and returned certifications that the 

following unincarcerated witnesses were not served with any subpoenas or witness fees: Gerald Biane 

KEVIN DARNELL BRYANT,
