UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

YUJUAN L. BANKS, SR.,

Plaintiff,

v.

U.C. REGENTS, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:14-cv-0460 TLN KJN P 

ORDER

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 15, 2015, plaintiff filed a document requesting that the court 

send him five writs of ad testificandum so that he may compel the attendance of witnesses at a 

judicial proceeding. (ECF No. 39.) Plaintiff also requests that the court send him five subpoenas 

to compel defendants to produce documents at a hearing. (Id.) 

 Plaintiff does not identify the witnesses or hearing for which he requests the writs of ad 

testificandum. For this reason, his request for writs is denied. 

 Plaintiff does not identify the documents he intends to obtain with the requested 

subpoenas or the hearing where he expects the documents to be produced. In any event, plaintiff 

may obtain documents from defendants through discovery procedures such as a request for 

production of documents. Accordingly, the request for subpoenas is denied on grounds that it is 

not well supported.
