UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Kevin Darnell Bryant (“Plaintiff”) is state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. All parties have consented to 

magistrate judge jurisdiction. (ECF Nos. 7, 231.) This action proceeds on Plaintiff’s claims against 

Defendant Romero for deliberate indifference to serious medical needs in violation of the Eighth 

Amendment, and against Defendants Gallagher and Romero for conspiracy, retaliation in violation of 

the First Amendment, and failure to protect in violation of the Eighth Amendment.

Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for thirteen (13) subpoena ad testificandum 

forms to subpoena unincarcerated witnesses who refuse to voluntarily testify in this matter. (ECF No. 

245.) This motion is denied, as it is unnecessary to provide Plaintiff such forms. To clarify, Plaintiff’s 

responsibilities for securing the attendance of such witnesses were explained in this Court’s second 

scheduling order. (ECF No. 233.) Plaintiff must notify the Court in writing of the name and location of 

each such witness on or before August 19, 2016. The Court will calculate the necessary travel 

expenses for each unincarcerated witness and notify Plaintiff of the amount(s). Plaintiff must then, for

each witness, submit a money order made payable to the witness for the full amount of the witness’s 

travel expenses plus the daily witness fee of $40.00, no later than September 16, 2016. If the Court 

finds all necessary requirements are met, the Court will order the Clerk of the Court to complete the 

necessary subpoenas, which will be submitted by the Clerk to the United States Marshal for service. 

Plaintiff will not be required to complete the necessary subpoena forms himself. 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s request for subpoena forms is 

DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
