APPOINTED COUNSEL’S EX PARTE

REQUEST FOR AUTHORITY TO

INCUR COSTS (expert witness) AND

REQUEST FOR PAYMENT

PART I

I, Carter C. White, declare:

1. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California and in the United

States District Court for the Eastern District of California, and the supervising attorney of the King

Hall Civil Rights Clinic, appointed attorney of record for plaintiff in this action. 

2. I believe that it is reasonably necessary to the prosecution of this civil rights action

to hire an expert witness with specialized knowledge of excessive use of force by correctional

officers and CDCR policy and procedure regarding use of force on inmates. I expect the cost of

retaining such an expert not to exceed $5,000. I will do all that I can to keep the expert costs

minimal and reasonable, and have asked for here an amount that is hoped to be the maximum

needed.

3. To date no other cost payments have been requested from the court in this case.

4. I understand and agree that all of the costs requested of, and paid by the court in this

case will be reimbursed out of any recovery or settlement received for the plaintiff.

5. Based upon the foregoing, I request that this court authorize the expenditure of

 $5,000 for the retention of an expert witness on the issue of plaintiff’s excessive force claims as

described herein.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct and that this is

executed this 25th day of October 2007, in Yolo County, California.

/S/ Carter C. White
