BILLY HENDERSON,

Plaintiff,

al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:12-cv-0532 JAM CKD P

Plaintiff is a California prisoner proceeding with an action for violation of civil rights 

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The remaining defendants are defendant York, an employee of the 

Glenn Medical Center; and defendants Gardner and Lazo, employees of the California Highway 

Patrol.

On July 23, 2014, plaintiff filed a motion asking that the court compel the California 

Highway Patrol, the Glenn County Adult Detention Facility and the Glenn County Sheriff’s 

Department to provide responses to subpoenas served upon them by plaintiff on May 18, 2014. 

However, all three subpoenas are defective because they were served by plaintiff.1 Therefore, 

plaintiff’s motion to compel will be denied. Furthermore, in the opposition to the motion to

(ECF No. 65) is denied.
