ORDER
U.C. REGENTS, et al.,
Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant
18
to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 15, 2015, plaintiff filed a document requesting that the court
19
send him five writs of ad testificandum so that he may compel the attendance of witnesses at a
20
judicial proceeding. (ECF No. 39.) Plaintiff also requests that the court send him five subpoenas
21
to compel defendants to produce documents at a hearing. (Id.)

Plaintiff does not identify the witnesses or hearing for which he requests the writs of ad
testificandum. For this reason, his request for writs is denied.
Plaintiff does not identify the documents he intends to obtain with the requested
25
subpoenas or the hearing where he expects the documents to be produced. In any event, plaintiff
26
may obtain documents from defendants through discovery procedures such as a request for
27
production of documents. Accordingly, the request for subpoenas is denied on grounds that it is
28
not well supported.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s request for writs and subpoenas
2
(ECF No. 39) is denied.
