Plaintiff Desha M. Carter (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is set for jury trial

commencing on January 19, 2010. On December 29, 2009, Plaintiff filed a motion, requesting that

the Court order the prison to provide general population clothing to Plaintiff for him to wear during

trial.

The Court will permit Plaintiff to wear prison-issued clothing at trial, if Plaintiff possesses

such items. The Court will request that defense counsel contact the prison litigation coordinator at

Corcoran State Prison to ascertain whether Plaintiff possesses general population clothing, such as

denim jeans and shirt. If Plaintiff possesses such items, the Court will issue a subsequent order

directing that Plaintiff be brought to Court with this clothing. If Plaintiff is not in possession of such

items, the Court will not order the prison to provide these items to Plaintiff.
