ORDER DIRECTING SERVICE OF

v.
CHRIS CHRONES, et al.,
Defendants.

15
Plaintiff Keith Zavala is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil
16
rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 23, 2012, Plaintiff was ordered to provide
17
a money order made payable to each witness that he wished to have subpoenaed for trial as required
18
for payment of witness fees and mileage. (ECF No. 105.) On November 26, 2012, Plaintiff
19
submitted the required money order for witness D. A White, and an order issued directing the parties
20
to notify the Court if the trial was anticipated to proceed on February 12, 2013, as scheduled. (ECF
21
Nos. 112, 114.) The parties have notified the Court that the trial is anticipated to proceed on the set
22
date. (ECF No. 116, 117.)
23
In his notice to the Court, Plaintiff requests information on whether his expert witnesses will
24
be able to testify since he did not provide the information required to subpoena them for trial as
25
ordered by the Court. As Plaintiff was previously advised in the order issued November 26, 2012,
26
Plaintiff is free to contact his expert witnesses and make arrangement for the payment of expert
27
witness fees to obtain their voluntary attendance at trial. (ECF No. 113.) As to Plaintiff’s request
28
to have Dr. Shroeder testify by video conference, the Court declines to entertain the motion until
1
1
such time as Plaintiff has shown that he has arranged for the attendance of Dr. Shroeder by making
2
arrangements for the payment of expert witness fees.
3
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
