IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC EL,

Plaintiff,

v.

T. SOHAL,

Defendant.

No. 2:23-CV-1433-KJM-DMC-P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the Court is Defendant’s motion for leave to take Plaintiff’s 

deposition. See ECF No. 20. Defendant’s motion will be denied as unnecessary because the 

Court’s discovery and scheduling order issued on December 5, 2023, provides that depositions, 

including those of incarcerated witnesses, may be taken live or by remote means without prior 

leave of court. See ECF No. 19. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant’s motion for leave to 

take Plaintiff’s deposition, ECF No. 20, is DENIED as unnecessary. 

Dated: July 8, 2024
