Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. October 7, 2013, plaintiff filed two motions requesting that the court order

two inmates to make statements on plaintiff’s behalf. The court does not have the authority to

20

order persons to make statements on the behalf of a party. However, if this action proceeds to

21

trial, plaintiff may be able to call these inmates as witnesses.
On October 24, 2013 plaintiff filed a notice requesting information regarding whether the

22
23

court appointed an attorney to represent him. Plaintiff is informed that no counsel has been

24

appointed to represent him in this action.
