Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to
17
42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed September 23, 2010, this court awarded defendants expenses of
18
plaintiff’s failed May 27, 2010 video deposition in the amount of $950.00. On September 12,
19
2011, a trial confirmation hearing was held before the district court. The order issued after that
20
hearing refers to the undersigned a request by defendants for clarification of when payment of
21
said expenses is due.

The award of expenses ordered by this court gave rise to a monetary obligation

owed by plaintiff to defendants. That obligation arose at the time this court’s order became final.
