- ilcd;;1:17-cv-01488_de97 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Michael M. Mihm on 7/23/2019. Plaintiff files 79 , requesting leave to serve written interrogatories upon non-parties Senator Dick Durbin and former Senator Al Franken. Plaintiff claims that both individuals have served on committees which have examined the effects of long-term segregation confinement. Discovery of non-parties must be done by subpoena pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45. The courts are found, under FRCP 45, to have a duty "to supervise an in forma pauperis party's litigation to the end of preventing abuse of the court's process and the privileges granted him under § 1915, [an] authority [that] extends to screening an indigent party's requests for issuance and service of subpoenae duces tecum on non-parties." Jackson v. Brinker, No. 91-471, 1992 WL 404537, at *7 (S.D. Ind. Dec. 21, 1992). A Court may deny the issuance of a subpoena to a non-party if the subpoenaed materials would be frivolous, immaterial, unnecessary or unduly burdensome. Id. at *7. As noted Plaintiff proceeds on specific deliberate indifference claims and offers nothing to support that the Senators' general knowledge as to the effects of long-term segregation would relevant to determine whether the Defendants violated the Eighth Amendment in the care they provided Plaintiff. 79 is DENIED.
