UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PEDRO MIRAMONTES,

Plaintiff,

v.

L. GOWER, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-1544 JAM CKD P

ORDER

Defendant Herrera has filed a motion asking that the court hold an evidentiary hearing 

with respect to the argument raised in his motion for summary judgment that plaintiff failed to 

exhaust administrative remedies prior to filing suit. Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY 

ORDERED that:

1. Defendant Herrera’s motion for an evidentiary hearing (ECF No. 29) is granted.

2. An evidentiary hearing will be held before the undersigned on January 9, 2017 at 9:00 

a.m. A writ of habeas corpus ad testificandum will issue for plaintiff’s appearance at the hearing.

3. The issue to be addressed at the hearing will be whether plaintiff was threatened with 

retaliation for further use of the inmate grievance process and whether that stopped plaintiff from 

filing a grievance concerning the actions of defendant Herrera which form the basis of plaintiff’s 

remaining First Amendment claim. It is plaintiff’s burden to produce evidence indicating he was 

threatened with retaliation and that the threats stopped plaintiff from filing a grievance.
