IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN CLINT DRAPER,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-02-00716 FCD GGH P

vs.

JEFFREY HARRIS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On May 3, 2005, plaintiff filed a motion requesting that the

court order the U.S. Marshal to serve subpoenas on two non-parties. 

As stated in the January 28, 2005, order, the court is not authorized to waive, in

actions in which the moving party is proceeding in forma pauperis, the cost of serving subpoenas

by the United States Marshal. See Tedder v. Odell, 890 F.2d 210, 211-212 (9th Cir.

1989)(finding no statutory authority allowing district courts to waive, in in forma pauperis

actions, the payment of witness fees).
