UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Jesse Washington is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On December 7, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion for a court order authorizing him to 

communicate with an inmate witness at another facility. (ECF No. 76.) Plaintiff indicates that he has 

followed the process outlined in California Code of Regulations, title 15, § 3139(a)-(c), but his request 

was improperly denied. Based on Plaintiff’s allegations alone, the Court cannot determine the validity 

of the prison’s response to Plaintiff’s request, and therefore Defendant is directed to file a response to 

Plaintiff’s motion within twenty (20) days from the date of service of this order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 5, 2016
