UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CESARIO VIZCARRA MEDINA,

 Plaintiff,

 v.

CDCR, et al.,

 Defendants.

Case No. 1:22-cv-00764-ADA-EPG (PC)

ORDER DIRECTING SERVICE OF 

SUBPOENA BY THE UNITED STATES 

MARSHALS SERVICE WITHOUT 

PREPAYMENT OF COSTS

(ECF Nos. 11 & 14)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO ATTACH 

COPY OF SUBPOENA TO THIS ORDER

The Court previously allowed Plaintiff to issue a subpoena so that Plaintiff could seek 

document(s) that identify Doe ISU Officers. (ECF No. 10). Plaintiff has now completed and 

returned the subpoena and USM-285 form. (ECF Nos. 11 & 14).1

As the response date listed by Plaintiff in the subpoena is approximately twenty-one 

days away but the subpoena has not yet been served, the Court will extend the response date. 

The Court will give the Litigation Coordinator at Corcoran State Prison twenty-one days from 

the date of service of the subpoena to respond to the subpoena.

Additionally, Plaintiff does not provide the date or location of the alleged incident in the

1 The Court notes that Plaintiff returned a subpoena and USM-285 form on November 10, 2022. (ECF 

No. 11). As Plaintiff did not fill out the subpoena form correctly, the Court required him to fill out a corrected 

subpoena form. (ECF No. 13, p. 2). However, Plaintiff largely filled out form USM-285 correctly, and the Court 

did not require Plaintiff to fill out a corrected form USM-285. (Id. at n.2).

subpoena. However, based on the prior subpoena form submitted by Plaintiff, it appears that 

the incident occurred on or around October 8, 2020, between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. on 3A 

facility, Building Five. Plaintiff alleges that on or around this date, the unit responsible for 

investigations in the prison (ISU) arrived at Plaintiff’s housing unit to interview him regarding 

a matter related to his criminal case. During the process of removing him, ISU officer(s)

twisted his arm with force behind his back, which caused a break in his arm that had been 

surgically repaired and healed. Plaintiff has chosen to proceed on his Eighth Amendment 

excessive force claim against the Doe ISU Officers who were directly responsible for breaking 

his arm. (ECF Nos. 6 & 7)

The Litigation Coordinator at Corcoran State Prison is only required to produce 

documents that identify, or that may reasonable help Plaintiff identify, the Doe ISU officer(s)

involved in this incident. Alternatively, if the Litigation Coordinator is able to identify the Doe 

ISU Officer(s) who allegedly grabbed Plaintiff and twisted his arm on or around October 8, 

2020, the Litigation Coordinator may provide those names to the Court via email at 

EPGorders@caed.uscourts.gov. If he or she does so, the Court will substitute the identified

ISU Officer(s) in place of the Doe ISU Officers and will authorize service of process on the 

identified Officer(s).

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Litigation Coordinator at Corcoran State Prison has TWENTY-ONE (21)

DAYS from the date of service of the subpoena to respond to the subpoena.

2. The Litigation Coordinator at Corcoran State Prison is only required to produce 

documents that identify, or that may reasonable help Plaintiff identify, the ISU 

officer(s) involved in the incident described above. Alternatively, if the Litigation 

Coordinator is able to identify the Doe ISU Officer(s) who were involved in the 

altercation with Plaintiff on or around October 8, 2020, the Litigation Coordinator 

may provide those names to the Court via email at EPGorders@caed.uscourts.gov.

3. Any response and/or responsive documents shall be produced to Plaintiff at his 

current address: Cesario Vizcarra Medina, BF-7636, California State Prison,
