ORDER denying 27 Motion for issuance of subpoenas. Signed by Jane M Virden on 3/16/2012. (sef)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
DELTA DIVISION
DAVID SHELTON
VS.

PLAINTIFF
CIVIL ACTION NO. 4:04CV291-WAP-DAS

NIDEC MOTORS INC.

DEFENDANT
ORDER

BEFORE THE COURT is the plaintiff’s motion for the clerk’s office to issue subpoenas
to three individuals (#27). However, the motion is too vague and lacks necessary information.
The clerk’s office cannot issue a subpoena with only the witnesses’ names provided. If it is the
plaintiff’s desire to subpoena witnesses for depositions, the date, time and location of the
deposition will need to be specified and the current addresses of the deponents will be necessary
in order to prepare the subpoenas. Finally, it is the plaintiff’s responsibility to have subpoenas
that are issued by the court actually served on the witnesses.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, that plaintiff’s motion for the issuance of subpoenas is
hereby denied.
SO ORDERED, this the 16th day of March 2012.
