P.O. Box 340174, Sacramento, CA 95834. ECF No. 94. The court has been unable to confirm 

whether the defendant remains incarcerated. 

If the defendant is incarcerated, the court may be required to issue a writ of 

habeas corpus ad testificandum or ad subjiciendum to require the California Department of 

Corrections and Rehabilitation to allow her to attend the final pretrial conference and trial. For 

this reason, the court orders as follows: 

1. The final pretrial conference is VACATED. 

2. The defendant is ORDERED to notify the court within fourteen days whether 

she is incarcerated and whether she will require a writ of habeas corpus to attend the trial or 

any rescheduled pretrial conference. If the defendant does not so notify the court, the court will 

enter default judgment in favor of the plaintiff. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: October 24, 2014.
