UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OSCAR MARSHALL,

Plaintiff,

v.

PAM AHLIN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:11-cv-01908 LJO DLB PC

ORDER ISSUING LIMITED WRIT OF 

HABEAS CORPUS AD TESTIFICANDUM 

ORDER TO SERVE ORDER ON FRESNO 

COUNTY SHERIFF AT FRESNO COUNTY 

JAIL

Plaintiff Oscar Marshall, currently an inmate at the Fresno County Jail, filed this civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on November 16, 2011. 

Pursuant to the scheduling order dated December 10, 2015, this matter was set for jury trial 

to commence on June 21, 2016, before United States District Judge Lawrence J. O’Neill. On April 

20, 2016, Defendants notified the Court of the death of Deputy Attorney General Andreas Garza, 

who was defense trial attorney in this matter. In light of this, the trial dates were vacated and a 

hearing to reset those dates was set for May 12, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. before United States Magistrate 

Judge Jennifer L. Thurston. The Office of the Attorney General was directed to set up a telephone 

conference call with Plaintiff and then contact the Court. 

It has come to the Court’s attention that when the Office of the Attorney General contacted 

the litigation coordinator at Corcoran State Prison, it was discovered that Plaintiff is presently “out to 

court”; specifically, he is incarcerated at the Fresno County Jail pending other charges. Therefore,
