UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PHILLIP J. LONG,

Plaintiff,

v.

CORIZON HEALTH, INC., et al., 

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:17-cv-0898-NONE-JLT (PC)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO 

AMEND SUBPOENA; AND

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT 

TO ISSUE AMENDED SUBPOENA

(Doc. 25)

This action proceeds against a single defendant, Jane Doe, on an Eighth Amendment 

medical indifference claim. Previously, plaintiff’s motion for a subpoena directed towards Jane 

Doe’s employer, Corizon Health, Inc., was granted, and service of the subpoena was ordered on 

December 20, 2019, by the United States Marshal. (Doc. 22.) Service was thereafter effectuated on 

February 28, 2020. (Doc. 24.) Corizon Health, Inc., has since timely objected to the subpoena on 

the ground that it is “unintelligible” because it does not provide enough information to identify Jane 

Doe. (See Doc. 25 at 8-9). Considering that objection, plaintiff submitted a letter with additional 

information to help with identification. (Doc. 25.) 

On review, the Court construes plaintiff’s letter as a motion to amend the subpoena. Good 

cause appearing, the Court ORDERS as follows:

1. Plaintiff’s motion to amend (Doc. 25) is GRANTED;
