LANCE WILLIAMS,

No. 2:17-cv-1884 TLN DB P

Plaintiff,

13

v.

14

ROMERO, et al.,

15

ORDER

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

17
18

Plaintiff alleges excessive force and deliberate indifference to his medical needs when he was

19

trapped by a mechanical sliding door. On March 29, 2019, plaintiff filed a request for the

20

issuance of subpoenas. (ECF No. 53.) The court denied that request. (ECF No. 54.) In that

21

April 12 order, the court construed plaintiff’s request for a subpoena to inspect the site at issue as

22

a request that plaintiff himself be permitted to inspect the site. (Id. at 2.)
On April 26, plaintiff filed a document in which he explains that he intends to have a third

23
24

party perform an inspection of the site. (ECF No. 56.) The court construes plaintiff’s filing as a

25

renewed motion for a subpoena to inspect premises.
