CHARLES JONES,

Plaintiff, CV F 04 5742 LJO WMW P 

vs. ORDER RE MOTION (DOC 60)

A. K. SCRIBNER, et al.,

Defendants.

Defendants have filed a motion for an order directing Plaintiff to undergo an independent

medical examination by a qualified medical doctor. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

35(a), such a motion may be granted upon a showing of good cause. 

Plaintiff filed this action, alleging that he was exposed to dangerous levels of toxic mold

and toxic pigeon fecal matter. Plaintiff alleges that Defendants were deliberately indifferent to

his health and safety, and as a result his respiratory system was damaged. Plaintiff does not

contest Defendants’ request for an examination. Plaintiff indicates that he would like the

examination to occur at his current place of incarceration. Defendants note that they are

amenable to this request. 

The court finds the request for an independent examination to be supported by good

cause. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
