ABEL P. REYES,

Case No. 1:16-cv-00586-DAD-JLT (PC)
Plaintiff,

v.

14

ORDER FOR PLAINTIFF TO SUBMIT
STATEMENT REGARDING TRIAL DAYS
FOR UNINCARCERATED WITNESSES’
TESTIMONY

FLORES, et al.,

15

Defendants.

10-Day Deadline

Plaintiff has submitted money orders to pay for service on eleven unincarcerated

19

witnesses he intends to call at the trial. Normally, the Court issues subpoenas for service

20

directing all subpoenaed witnesses to appear on the first day of trial. However, it seems unlikely

21

that 11 witnesses will be completed on the first day of trial.

22

Accordingly, Plaintiff is directed to file a statemen, within 10-days of the date of service

23

of this order, identifying the unincarcerated witnesses he wants to be subpoenaed to testify the

24

first day of trial and which of the unincarcerated witnesses he wants to be subpoenaed to testify

25

the second day of trial.

26

The Court suggests that he should plan on about three witnesses on the first day,

27

depending upon how long he thinks each witnesses’ testimony will last, and the rest on the second

28

day. If he has extra time on the first day, he could plan to fill that time with some or all of his

1

1

own testimony, assuming he intends to testify.
