ORDER
Plaintiff Don Lewis proceeds in this action in forma pauperis and pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983. Plaintiff is currently incarcerated in the Arkansas Department of Corrections, Ouachita
River Unit in Malvern, Arkansas (“ADC”). This matter is set for trial the week of August 24,
2015. On July 21, 2015, the Court issued an Order requesting Defendants produce Shane Johnston
as a witness for trial. Defendants responded stating that Mr. Johnston is no longer employed with
Miller County and provided his last known address under seal. (ECF No. 89).
Because Plaintiff proceeds in this matter in forma pauperis, the Court will issue subpoenas
and writs for those of Plaintiff's trial witnesses the Court deems appropriate. The Court has already
determined Shane Johnston is an appropriate witness in its July 21, 2015 Order. Therefore, the
Court will issue a subpoena for Shane Johnston for Plaintiff’s counsel to serve. The Court will
also consider an application for reimbursement of service costs from Plaintiff’s counsel.
Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to issue a subpoena directed to Shane
Johnston at the address provided under seal by Defendants (ECF No. 89) requiring his presence
before this Court in Texarkana, Arkansas on August 24, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. to testify in the above
entitled proceeding. The Clerk is DIRECTED to mail the subpoena by certified mail with return
receipt to Cory J. Floyd, Norton Wood LLP, 315 Main Street, Texarkana, Texas 75504. Plaintiff’s
counsel may then serve the subpoena on Mr. Johnston.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 4th day of August 2015.
