On March 3, 2016, the Court issued an amended order for the issuance of a Writ of
Habeas Corpus ad Testificandum to transport Plaintiff Kelvin X. Singleton, commanding the
Warden of the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility (RJD), 480 Alta Road, San Diego, CA
92179 to produce California prisoner Kelvin X. Singleton, CDCR #H-86959, to attend a
settlement conference in this action before Magistrate Judge Kendall J. Newman on March 29,
2016, at the United States District Court in Sacramento, California. (ECF No. 269.)

telephonically. Therefore, it is not necessary for Plaintiff to be transported to Court for the
settlement conference. By separate order, the Court has vacated the order and Writ issued on
March 3, 2016. (ECF No. 271.)
