UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHAWN PATRICK GREENBLATT,

Plaintiff,

v.

DR. I. PATEL, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:12-cv-00046-SKO PC

ORDER REQUIRING COUNSEL TO 

RESUBMIT SUBPOENA WITH AN 

UPDATED PRODUCTION DATE THAT IS 

AT LEAST FORTY-FIVE DAYS FROM THE 

DATE OF COMPLIANCE WITH THIS 

ORDER

(Docs. 30 and 33)

TEN-DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Shawn Patrick Greenblatt, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis, filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on January 10, 2012. On 

January 7, 2013, the Court appointed counsel for Plaintiff for the limited purpose of ascertaining

the identities of the two Doe defendants against whom this action proceeds, and on July 3, 2013, 

the Court granted Plaintiff’s motion seeking the issuance of a subpoena duces tecum directing the 

Warden of Kern Valley State Prison to produce the records necessary to identify the defendants. 

In the order, the Court provided a fifteen-day notice, in compliance with Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 45(b)(1), and at this juncture, the United States Marshal may now be directed to initiate 

service of the subpoena.

However, the subpoena submitted by Plaintiff specifies a production date of August 9, 

2013, which does not allow the Marshal sufficient time to serve the subpoena or the prison 

sufficient time to respond once served.1,2

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that within ten (10) days from the date of service 

of this order, Plaintiff’s counsel shall resubmit the subpoena with an updated production date that 

is at least forty-five days from the date of compliance with this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
