UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

TERRYLYN MCCAIN, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

MANGHAM, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:11-cv-01265-KJM-AC 

ORDER 

This matter is before the undersigned pursuant to Local Rule 302(c)(21). Plaintiff has 

submitted a request for service of six subpoenas to produce documents, directed to various 

parties. Plaintiff, however, is not proceeding in forma pauperis in this matter. Accordingly, an 

order directing the U.S. Marshal’s Service (USM) to serve plaintiff’s subpoenas is not appropriate 

at this time. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (directing the USM to serve documents on behalf of parties 

proceeding in forma pauperis). Parties who are not proceeding in forma pauperis must personally 

serve the third party to whom the subpoena is addressed. Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(b). If plaintiff is 

unable to serve the subpoenas in question herself for financial reasons she must first obtain the 

court’s leave to procced in forma pauperis in this matter. Once the court has granted plaintiff’s 

motion to proceed in forma pauperis, it can consider directing the USM to serve the subpoenas. 

Accordingly, the court will order plaintiff to show cause why an order directing the USM 

to serve the subpoenas in question should issue. In response to the court’s order, plaintiff must

file an application to proceed in forma pauperis in order for a court order directing the 

USM to serve the subpoenas to issue. In addition, plaintiff should explain the relevance of the 

information sought and show that the records are obtainable only through the identified thirdparty. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26, 45. 

In accordance with the foregoing, THE COURT HEREBY ORDERS that: 

1. Plaintiff shall show cause in writing within fourteen (14) days of the date of this order 

why an order should issue directing the USM to serve plaintiff’s subpoenas; 

2. The Clerk of the Court shall attach copies of plaintiff’s subpoenas to this order when it 

is served; and 

3. The Clerk of the Court shall update plaintiff’s address for service to the one appearing 

on her most recent piece of mail:
