UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAMUEL ANDERSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. CLARK KELSO, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2: 12-cv-0261 MCE KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding with counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On September 29, 2015, a telephonic hearing was held regarding a discovery 

dispute concerning plaintiff’s Notice of Deposition of Dr. Barnett and Request for Production of 

Documents. R. Lawrence Bragg appeared on behalf of defendants. Chijioke O. Ikonte appeared 

on behalf of plaintiff.

At the hearing, the parties clarified that defense counsel had provided plaintiff’s counsel 

with declarations submitted by Dr. Barnett in other civil rights actions, filed by non-party 

inmates, raising the issue of adequate pain medication. The parties clarified that the at-issue 

dispute concerned only whether plaintiff’s counsel is also entitled to the medical records of these

non-party inmates, in addition to Dr. Barnett’s declarations.
