O R D E R

Now pending before the court is the plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis

(doc. # 109) in which he seeks to have a subpoena issued without tendering the requisite fees.

Regardless of whether the plaintiff is a pauper, FED.R.CIV.P. 45(c) requires that a subpoena be

accompanied by an attendance fee ($40.00 per day), a subsistence fee ($99.00 per day) if

overnight stay is required, and actual expenses of a common carrier or mileage (54¢ per mile

each way), or it need not be obeyed. Thus, the subpoena will issue. However, without the fees,

the witness will be advised that she is not required to obey the subpoena. Accordingly, upon

consideration of the motion, and for good cause, it is

ORDERED that, to the extent that the plaintiffseeks the issuance of a subpoena for R.N.

Tamika Ward, the motion (doc. # 109) be and is hereby GRANTED. The Clerk of the Court

is DIRECTED to issue the subpoena. To the extent that the plaintiff seeks to be have the court

tender the fees, or be excused from tendering the fees, the motion be and is hereby DENIED.

Done this 23rd day of June, 2016.
