ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION COMPELLING DISCLOSURE OF DISCOVERY [ECF No. 109]

ORDER DIRECTING PERSONAL SERVICE OF SUBPOENAS DUCES TECUM WITHIN SEVEN DAYS BY UNITED STATES MARSHAL WITHOUT PREPAYMENT OF COSTS [ECF No. 95]

DENNIS L. BECK, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff Kevin D. Bryant ("Plaintiff") is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is proceeding against Defendants Waddle and Castellanos for violating Plaintiff's First Amendment rights by retaliating against him.

On March 29, 2016, the Court issued an order authorizing the issuance of a subpoena duces tecum directed Christian Pfeiffer, Warden of Kern Valley State Prison. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4, 45; 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d). On April 21, 2016, Plaintiff filed objections and motion for reconsideration of the Court's order. On June 3, 2016, the Court granted reconsideration in part and authorized the issuance of additional subpoenas duces tecum directed to Christian Pfeiffer. On June 27, 2016, the Court directed personal service of the subpoenas duces tecum, however, the initial March 29, 2016, subpoena duces tecum was not included.

On July 11, 2016, Plaintiff filed the instant motion for an order compelling the discovery ordered by the Court in the March 29, 2016, order. Plaintiff complains that Christian Pfeiffer has failed to respond to the subpoena duces tecum. However, the subpoenas duces tecum have not yet been served on Warden Christian Pfeiffer. Thus, he was not obligated to produce the documents.

The requisite notice having been issued pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45(a)(4), it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the Court shall forward the following documents to the United States Marshal (USM):

2. Within seven (7) calendar days from the date of this order, the USM is DIRECTED to serve the subpoenas in accordance with the provisions of Rule 45 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure;

3. The USM SHALL effect personal service of the subpoena duces tecum, along with a copy of this order, upon the individual/entity named in the subpoena pursuant to Rule 45 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and 28 U.S.C. § 566(c); and

4. Within ten (10) days after personal service is effected, the USM SHALL file the returns of service, along with the costs subsequently incurred in effecting service, and said costs shall be enumerated on the USM-285 form.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
