ORDER

The undersigned judge was notified just before 10:00 a.m. on

July 8, 2010, that Pelican Bay State Prison officials cannot comply with

the Order & Writ of Habeas Corpus Ad Testificandum to produce inmate

Eddie Young (Docket No. 153) unless they institute a cell extraction

procedure because the inmate refuses to leave his cell to attend the

trial. A prison official explained that a cell extraction involves a

risk of injury to the inmate and could result in the inmate be unable to

attend trial or attend trial with an injury. Under the circumstances,

the previously issued Order & Writ of Habeas Corpus Ad Testificandum

cannot be executed since enforcing it would require the inmate’s

forcible extraction from his cell. 

The prison official indicated that the inmate’s video

appearance may be possible if timely notice is given concerning when the

inmate’s appearance is necessary. Should Plaintiff elect to produce the

inmate by way of video appearance, Plaintiff must obtain a new writ for
