UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL BAKER,

Plaintiff,

v.

PEREZ, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2: 09-cv-2757 MCE KJN P

ORDER

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

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is set for jury trial before the Honorable Morrison C. England 

on January 5, 2015. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s July 25, 2014 motion requesting that 

the court calculate the witness fees of his unincarcerated witnesses who refuse to testify 

voluntarily. (ECF No. 175.) 

As stated in the scheduling order (ECF No. 22), the appropriate sum of money due 

unincarcerated witnesses who refuse to testify voluntarily is $40 plus the witness’ travel 

expenses. The travel expenses are $0.56 per mile. Using these amounts, it is plaintiff’s burden to 

calculate the travel expenses of his unincarcerated witnesses who refuse to testify voluntarily.
