No. C03-3995 SBA (BZ)

NOTICE OF INTENT

TO CERTIFY CONTEMPT

Before the court is a letter from plaintiff’s counsel

dated January 17, 2008. Document 223. Attached to it is a

letter from Mr. Hirsig which indicates that at least the CDC

will not be producing the discovery required by the Discovery

Order entered January 16, 2008. It is not clear whether that

is also the position of Salinas Valley State Prison.

As of the entry of this Order, it does not appear that

the CDC has sought a stay of the Discovery Order from Judge

Armstrong. Trial is scheduled for February 11, 2008 and this

discovery dispute has been brewing for many months. Under the

circumstances, and in an effort to ensure the completion of

discovery prior to trial, it is ORDERED as follows:

In the event the discovery required by the Discovery

Order is not completed by 5:00 p.m. today, counsel for

plaintiff shall immediately file a declaration under penalty

of perjury setting forth the facts of the witnesses’ noncompliance. The court will then certify the facts it believes

constitute contempt to Judge Armstrong pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

636(e)(6).
