Case No. 1:10-cv-02352-AWI-SKO (PC)

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S=

REQUEST FOR LEAVE TO DEPOSE 

PLAINTIFF BY VIDEOCONFERENCE

(Doc. 41)

Plaintiff Florencio Vallejo, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed 

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on December 17, 2010. This action is 

proceeding on Plaintiff’s amended complaint, filed on January 3, 2012, against Defendant Gray 

for acting with deliberate indifference to Plaintiff’s medical needs, in violation of the Eighth 

Amendment.

A scheduling order was filed on April 2, 2014, and this action is currently in the discovery 

phase. On May 9, 2014, Defendant filed a motion seeking leave to depose Plaintiff by 

videoconference. Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(b)(4).

In light of the fact that the Court was previously requested to schedule a settlement 

conference, Defendant was ordered to notify the Court whether he intended to depose Plaintiff 

before the settlement conference on June 13, 2014. On May 14, 2014, Defendant filed a response.
