ORDER RE PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST

FOR ATTENDANCE OF

INCARCERATED WITNESSES AT

TRIAL

(DOC 119, 121)

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and with a civil rights action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. section 1983. Trial is scheduled for November 1, 2005. On September 27, 2005, plaintiff

submitted the declarations of two (2) additional incarcerated witnesses, Lee R. Pugh (CDC # D60180) and Vincent Garcia (CDC# D-18461) and requests for their attendance as witnesses at trial. 

The Court has reviewed the declarations and is satisfied that inmate Lee R. Pugh is willing to attend

the trial and has actual knowledge of relevant facts. Accordingly, the Court will order the warden or

other custodian to permit the witness to be transported to court for trial. However, the Court finds

that inmate Vincent Garcia’s testimony would be duplicative and therefore plaintiff’s request for his

attendance at trial is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
