By order dated April 28, 2015, I appointed Jon Beck as counsel for Plaintiff pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(1). Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion to Incur Deposition
Expenses. ECF No. 95.
In this Motion, Plaintiff seeks approval to incur expenses for the depositions of Kevin C.
McLeod, M.D. and Defendant Sheriff James Singleton and for the Court to reimburse Mr. Beck
for these expenditures. These depositions are estimated to cost approximately $2,500.
The Court finds the request reasonable and made in compliance with Local Rule 83.6 and

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Motion to Incur Deposition Expenses (ECF No. 95) is hereby
GRANTED.

Counsel is advised that this Order only approves the proposed expenditures, and in order to receive
reimbursement he must submit a motion pursuant to Local Rule 83.6 after counsel incurs the costs.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 14th day of May 2015.
