Case No. 3:12-0489
Judge Trauger/Brown
Jury Demand

O R D E R
The Plaintiff has written a letter to the Court asking
about the scheduling of the final pretrial conference and the
requirements for that conference.
The Magistrate Judge will normally enter an order setting
the dates and requirements for the final pretrial conference and
the trial approximately two months before the trial date.
The Court will normally issue orders for inmates whom the
Plaintiff wishes to subpoena, provided he can show that their
testimony is necessary.

Unless the Plaintiff is able to pay the

witness fees and mileage for non-inmate prisoners, the Court will
not issue subpoenas for their attendance.
The Plaintiff has filed a pleading entitled “Plaintiff’s
Answer in Response to Court Order” (Docket Entry 89).

If the

Plaintiff intended this to be an appeal of the Magistrate Judge’s
order denying his motion to amend (Docket Entry 86), it should have
been labeled as an appeal as stated in the last sentence of the
Magistrate Judge’s order.

If it is simply a motion for the

Magistrate Judge to reconsider his order, it is DENIED.

The

Magistrate Judge stands by his original order.
It is so ORDERED.
