ORDER DECLINING TO ISSUE WRIT AD

TESTIFICANDUM 

(Doc. No. 39)

Currently pending before this Court is a motion to release Petitioner from prison following

the grant of Petitioner’s application for habeas corpus. Also pending is an application for the

issuance of a writ ad testificandum. The Court has reviewed the writ application. The Court will

decline to issue the writ at this time. Issues for which Petitioner’s testimony may be relevant may be

discussed at the September 13, 2010, hearing. If the Court later determines that Petitioner’s

1

presence is necessary, the Court will issue the writ ad testificandum at that time and set a further

expedited hearing. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner’s application for writ ad

testificandum is DENIED at this time.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: September 1, 2010 

0m8i78 CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

1

Prison Terms, a case in the Sacramento Division of this District. See Court’s Docket Doc. No. 57 in case 2:04-cv-518 FCD
