BACKGROUND

This civil rights action was removed from the Kern County Superior Court to the United

States District Court for the Eastern District of California on February 22, 2006, and originally

named as defendants the State of California (“California”), the Tehachapi Correctional Institute

(“CCI”), and “DOES 1 through 100, inclusive.” (Doc. 2). Thereafter, upon a motion to dismiss

made by Defendants California and CCI (Doc. 5), the Honorable Anthony W. Ishii, United States

District Judge, ordered that Defendants California and CCI be dismissed, and granted Plaintiffs leave

until June 9, 2006 to amend the complaint to name the Doe defendants. (Doc. 10). On June 28,

2006, Plaintiffs were ordered to show cause why the action should not be dismissed for failure to

name such Doe defendants. (Doc. 28). Upon motion by Plaintiffs, United States District Judge Ishii

on August 30, 2006 granted Plaintiffs permission to file an amended complaint, discharged the

earlier order to show cause and found that Plaintiffs were entitled to conduct discovery to attempt to

Thereafter, on September 18, 2006, a Status Conference was conducted in this matter

whereupon counsel for Plaintiffs informed the Court that a subpoena had been served upon the CCI 

to ascertain the true names of the Doe defendants. Plaintiff’s counsel further advised the Court that

the response date for the subpoena is September 28, 2006.
