15
Plaintiff Donald Glass (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma
16
pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On November 19, 2012, the Court
17
partially granted Plaintiff’s motion for the attendance of unincarcerated witnesses at trial. In the
18
order, the Court instructed Plaintiff that to have Chief Deputy Warden Lonnie Watson, Radiologist
19
Huo, Facility Captain R. Halberg, Lieutenant Daniel Indendi, and Facility Captain Lopez served with
20
summonses to testify at trial, Plaintiff must submit a money order for each witness by January 11,
21
2013. (ECF No. 123.) Plaintiff submitted money orders for Radiologist Huo, Facility Captain R.
22
Halberg and Facility Captain R. Lopez and, on January 9, 2013, the Court issued an order directing
23
service of subpoenas on these three unincarcerated witnesses. (ECF No. 137.)
24
On January 14, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting a 21-day extension of time to tender
25
money orders for each of the unincarcerated witnesses. Plaintiff explains that he did not receive the
26
Court’s order directing submission of money orders until December 22, 2012, and that he requires
27
additional time to submit money orders. (ECF No. 140.) On January 16, 2013, Defendants filed a
28
1

1

statement of non-opposition to Plaintiff’s motion for additional time.

2

As noted above, Plaintiff has submitted the necessary money orders for three of the five

3

unincarcerated witnesses. However, the Court finds good cause to extend the time for Plaintiff to

4

submit the necessary money orders for the remaining unincarcerated witnesses, Chief Deputy Lonnie

5

Watson and Lieutenant Daniel Indendi. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

6

1.

Plaintiff’s motion for a 21-day extension of time to submit witness fees is
GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART;

Plaintiff shall have an additional 21-days from the date of service of this order to
submit money orders for Chief Deputy Warden Lonnie Watson and Lieutenant

Daniel Indendi.
