IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LARRY ALEXANDER, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-1014 LKK KJM P

vs.

LIEUTENANT PLAINER, et al., 

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prison inmate proceeding pro se with a civil rights action under

42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

I. Extension Of Time; Presence Of Witnesses

On October 29, 2007, plaintiff requested additional time in which to file his

motion to obtain the presence of witnesses at trial. This request is granted nunc pro tunc and the

motions filed November 1 and November 8, 2007 are deemed timely. 

On November 1, 2007, plaintiff filed a letter, asking the court to serve a subpoena

on Officer W. Patton. He has not tendered the required witness fees and mileage. Even though

plaintiff is proceeding in forma pauperis, he is not exempt from paying the necessary fees.

Plaintiff has asked that the court issue writs of habeas corpus ad testificandum for

Inmate Moore, H-82249 for trial. Plaintiff has made the required showing.

Motion To Compel

In an order filed concurrently with the findings and recommendations filed

January 24, 2007, the court denied plaintiff’s motion for a review of the defendants’ personnel

files. Plaintiff has filed a renewed motion to compel, arguing that he was unable to file the

motion within the time established in the scheduling order because he was unable to get to the

law library. See also Docket No. 114. He does not further explain, however, how this prevented

him from filing his motion.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:

1. Plaintiff’s October 29, 2007 motion for an extension of time is granted nunc

pro tunc;

2. Plaintiff’s November 1, 2007 request to have the court subpoena Officer

Patton is denied;

3. Plaintiff’s November 8, 2007 request for the issuance of a writ of habeas

corpus ad testificandum as to Inmate Moore, H-82249 is granted, to be issued in a timely fashion

to secure Moore’s presence for the April 15, 2008 trial; and

4. Plaintiff’s November 8, 2007 motion to compel discovery is denied. 

DATED: December 17, 2007.
