Case No: 1:14-cv-00142-LJO-SKO

STIPULATION FOR AN ORDER FOR 

PLAINTIFF’S DEPOSITION IN 

CALIFORNIA HEALTH CARE 

FACILITY, STOCKTON, VIA VIDEO, 

AND ORDER THEREON

Pursuant to defendants’ original Notice of Deposition, the deposition of the 

plaintiff, Dominic Hanna, was scheduled for two days, March 23 and 24, 2016, at the 

North Kern State Prison Infirmary in Delano, California. The deposition was to be 

videotaped and that was acceptable to the Litigation Coordinator there. Plaintiff’s 

mental examination had been ordered conducted there, and videotaped, on January 11 

pursuant to this Court’s Orders. (Documents 85 and 96)

On March 9, 2016, the Litigation Coordinator’s Office at North Kern State Prison 

advised all counsel that on February 3, 2016, plaintiff had been transferred to the 

California Health Care Facility, part of the Division of Adult Institutions for the 

California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, in Stockton. Counsel have 

spoken with the Litigation Coordinator’s Office there and have been advised that it will 

not be possible for the deposition to go forward on the dates originally set for Mr. 

Hanna’s deposition, and that a deposition by videotape is not permitted (although with 

a Court Order it may be permitted).

The parties stipulate that due to the defendants’ inability to take the deposition 

when originally scheduled, plaintiff’s deposition may be taken beyond the April 8, 2016, 

non-expert discovery cut-off. The deposition will be reset to a date agreeable to the 

parties and the California Health Care Facility, Stockton.

Pursuant to FRCP 30(a)(2)(B), an order from this court is required to take the 

deposition of plaintiff Hanna, a prison inmate. Further California Health Care Facility, 

Stockton, requires an order from this court to allow defendants to record the deposition 

via certified court reporter and videotaping. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
