UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GARRISON S. JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

DOVEY, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:08-CV-00640-LJO-DLB PC

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

TO SERVE MORE THAN TWENTY FIVE

INTERROGATORIES ON DEFENDANT V.

YBARRA

(ECF NO. 56)

Plaintiff Garrison S. Johnson (“Plaintiff”) is a prisoner in the custody of the California

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”). Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in

forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is proceeding

against Defendants Dunnahoe, V. Ybarra, Cunningham, Medrano, Holguin, Valasquez, G.

Ybarra, Curliss, J. Gonzales, and K. Powell. Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion to

serve more than 25 interrogatories on Defendant V. Ybarra, filed April 8, 2010.

Plaintiff contends that he served twenty five interrogatories on Defendant V. Ybarra in his

first set. Plaintiff seeks leave to serve twenty more interrogatories on Defendant V. Ybarra. 

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(2), the Court may alter the limits on the

number of interrogatories that can be served on a party. Plaintiff contends that because he is

unable to depose any Defendants due to his incarceration and indigent status, Plaintiff needs to

serve Defendant V. Ybarra with more interrogatories.
