of Correctional officers Tabia and Hernandez, as well as provide a new check or money order for 

the appropriate witness fees made out to the name of the correct individual. 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED:

No later than September 11, 2023, Plaintiff shall provide to correctional officials for 

mailing, a Notice of Updated Information concerning Correctional Officers Tabia and Hernandez. 

If Plaintiff wishes to have the U.S. Marshal attempt to re-serve subpoenas on these witnesses and 

the names of these witnesses are different than what was on the original money order, he will 

need to resubmit a new check or money order in the amount of $137.00 for each witness made out 

to the corrected spelling of the witness’s name. Plaintiff’s failure to timely comply with this 

order will result in Plaintiff’s inability to call these witnesses to testify at trial.
