UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY R. TURNER,

Plaintiff,

v.

WOODFORD, et. al.,

Defendants.

 /

CV F 05-695 AWI LJO P 

ORDER DISREGARDING PROPOSED

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE LODGED BY

PLAINTIFF 

 Anthony R. Turner (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On October 31, 2005, Plaintiff submitted to the Court a document titled “Order to Show

Cause. Injunction, a Temporary Restraining Order.” It appears that by this document, Plaintiff is

attempting to Order the Defendants, all twenty-seven (27) of them, to Show Cause why a

Preliminary Injunction should not issue. However, it is not the place of Plaintiff to issue such

Orders as he is not a Judge functioning in a Court of Law. Accordingly, the proposed Order to

Show Cause and Temporary Restraining Order is DISREGARDED. 

To the extent Plaintiff is seeking to obtain a Temporary Restraining Order, his request

would be denied. Until such time as the Court has determined that the action states a claim for

relief, any request for a temporary restraining order will be denied as premature. Plaintiff is not

entitled to preliminary injunctive relief until such time as the court finds that his complaint

contains cognizable claims for relief against the named Defendants and the named Defendants

have been served with the summons and complaint. At this juncture, any request for injunctive

relief is premature. 

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS:
