IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

HELENA DIVISION

WILLIAM CHRISTOPHER MOORE, 

ADC #127360 PLAINTIFF

v. 2:09CV00168BSM/JTK

LARRY NORRIS, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

In response to the Court’s Order of May 27, 2010 (Doc. No. 61), and in anticipation of the 

Evidentiary Hearing on plaintiff’s motion for a protective order, scheduled for 9:30 a.m., June 14,

2010, the plaintiff has submitted a list of proposed witnesses (Doc. No. 63). He requests that six

inmate witnesses be called on his behalf. Defendants have filed a response to plaintiff’s list,

objecting to the inclusion of inmates Gould, Winbush and Edwards, based on the fact that these

inmates were not housed near plaintiff and would not have been able to hear threats made to

plaintiff. (Doc. No. 65). Defendants also object to inmate Gould’s testimony as inadmissible

hearsay. Defendants do not, however, object to requested inmates Stewart, Welch, and Chadwick,

although they state inmate Chadwick is no longer incarcerated in the ADC. 

Having reviewed the plaintiff’s request and defendants’ objections, and noting that the

expected testimony of several of the witnesses is identical, the Court finds that the following

witnesses will be permitted, in addition to the plaintiff.

1) Chester Dee Welch, ADC #133021, incarcerated at EARU;

2) Barry W. Stewart, ADC #090371, incarcerated at EARU; and

3) Joshua M. Gould, ADC #129360, incarcerated at EARU.
