UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRANK LEE DEARWESTER,

Plaintiff,

v.

DONALD F. PARKHURST, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:13-cv-2530 CKD P

ORDER

Mr. Dearwester, a California prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a document titled 

“Petition For Order Relieving Plaintiff . . . From Provisions of [California] Government Code 

Section 946.6.”1 A request for relief from this provision of California law is not a proper basis 

for an action in federal court. Mr. Dearwester’s remedy, if it lies at all, lies in California Superior 

Court. For these reasons, Mr. Dearwester’s “petition” is dismissed and the Clerk of the Court is 

directed to close this case.

Dated: January 2, 2014
