I, Patience Milrod, declare as follows: 

I was appointed to represent plaintiff in this action on September 3, 2003, by the 

Honorable SANDRA M. SNYDER, United States District Magistrate Judge. I believe that 

the following course of action is reasonably necessary to the prosecution of this action: 

It will be necessary to take the deposition of DONALD W. DEERING, M.D. Dr. 

Deering originally examined Mr. Roundtree and prescribed soft shoes and orthotic 

appliances for him in mid-1998. When defendants failed and refused to provide them as 

prescribed, Dr. Deering re-issued the chrono for shoes and appliances on April 29, 1999, 

May 27, 1999, July 8, 1999 and November 19, 1999. In addition, Dr. Deering was one of the

reviewers of plaintiff’s grievance, and will be able to testify that plaintiff had been unable to 

appear at the orthotic clinic for lack of a custody escort. Thus, Dr. Deering was a percipient 

witness on issues related to refusal of medical care. 

Plaintiff has prepared a deposition notice and subpoena for Dr. Deering. I 

therefore request that this court authorize expenditure in an amount not to exceed 

$100.00 for mandatory deposition fees for Dr. Deering pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1821. 

To date, one payment for costs in the amount of $958.66 has been approved in this 

matter. Costs have also been approved for the services of an expert, but no funds have 

yet been expended. 

Plaintiff also respectfully applies for an order appointing the United States 

Marshal to effect service of process on DONALD W. DEERING, M.D. of a deposition 

subpoena. 

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct, and that 

this declaration is executed this 2nd day of February 2007, in Fresno, California.
