UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Anthony Johnson (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter is set for a jury trial on 

April 26, 2015. 

On February 20, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion seeking an order allowing his inmate witnesses 

to wear prison khakis at trial. Plaintiff explains that Inmate Mayhan is a Muslim and wearing clothing 

that reveals his underwear or legs, such as the see-through orange jumpsuit, would violate his religious 

teachings. (ECF No. 134.) 

As discussed at the hearing on April 21, 2015, Defendants do no oppose the request. Further, 

defense counsel has represented that inmate witnesses wear their ordinary prison uniforms at trial,
