IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES ROBERT GORTON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-08-3069 LKK GGH P

vs.

TODD, et al.,

Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §

1983. Currently pending are plaintiff’s motion for subpoenas (Doc. 77) and two motions to

compel (Docs. 80, 81). 

Plaintiff’s motions to compel concern plaintiff’s attempts to send his objections

regarding a prior findings and recommendations, to all parties in this case. Plaintiff states that

the prison mailroom will not let him send out copies to all parties. The court notes that

plaintiff’s objections were timely and properly served on the court. To the extent that Attorney

Ronald Lamb who represents several of the defendants on this case was not sent a copy of the

objections, the court will direct Attorney Lamb to view the objections (Doc. 78) on the court’s

electronic filing system. Therefore plaintiff need not send out additional copies of the objections

and the motions to compel are denied as moot.

Plaintiff requests subpoenas for non parties to produce documents and plaintiff

has provided two properly filled out subpoenas duces tecum. As plaintiff has described the items

to be produced with reasonable particularity and they are relevant to the case the court will order

the United States Marshall to serve the subpoenas. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 34(c), 45(a). 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s motions to compel (Docs. 80, 81) are denied.

2. Plaintiff’s motion for subpoenas is granted (Doc. 77);

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to issue the subpoenas duces tecum and

forward them to the United States Marshal;

4. The United States Marshal is directed to promptly effect service of plaintiff’s

subpoenas.
