Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

J.M. BRIDDLE, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §

1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s ex parte request to appear by video (Doc. 216). 

An evidentiary hearing in this case has been set for November 29, 2007 to provide

plaintiff an opportunity to prove his damages against defaulted defendant Knight. Plaintiff is

requesting to attend this hearing by way of video conference instead of personal appearance. 

This request will be granted. In order to accommodate petitioner’s request, the court will reset

the evidentiary hearing for January 24, 2008, at 1:30 p.m. Under separate order, the court will

reissue an order and writ of habeas corpus ad testificandum requiring petitioner to appear by

video-conferencing.
