UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BARRY LOUIS LAMON,

Plaintiff,

v.

DERRAL ADAMS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:09-cv-00205-LJO-JLT PC

ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S

ACCESS TO HIS LEGAL PROPERTY 

As stated in a concurrently issued order, the Court has learned that Plaintiff, who is 

proceeding pro se, was recently transferred to the California Men’s Colony (“CMC”) in San Luis 

Obispo. His condition and release date back to the California Correctional Institution (“CCI”) in

Tehachapi are uncertain and, based thereon, the current telephonic trial confirmation hearing has 

been rescheduled. 

However, on January 5, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion for a protective order, seeking 

assistance from the Court to gain access to his legal property (which will be construed as a motion 

for preliminary injunction and addressed via findings and recommendations at a later date when 

Plaintiff has returned to normal custody status)

1

. (Doc. 306.) 

Plaintiff filed a similar motion indicating that he was unable to access his records due to 

 

1

Plaintiff’s requests for extensions of time will be addressed via separate order.

transfers between CSP-Sacramento and CSP-Corcoran. (Doc. 285.) The order on that motion 

requested the assistance of the Wardens and Litigation Coordinators at CSP-Sacramento and 

CSP-Corcoran to facilitate Plaintiff’s access to his legal property, apparently to no avail. (Doc. 

285.)

This action is currently scheduled for trial on March 8, 20162and Plaintiff should have 

whatever of his legal property exists available as soon as he is able to engage in the necessary 

preparation. Thus, prison personnel at all three facilities mentioned in Plaintiff’s motions are 

requested, as a courtesy to the Court, to assist in locating Plaintiff’s legal papers/materials and 

thereafter to advise of the results of their search -- including whether any such items have been 

destroyed, discarded, or are otherwise unobtainable. Accordingly,

1. The Court requests the assistance of Monica Anderson and the Wardens 

and Litigation Coordinators at CSP-Sacramento, CSP-Corcoran, and CCITehachapi in investigating the location of Plaintiff’s legal property. The 

Court requests also that they facilitate Plaintiff’s access to his legal papers, 

and within twenty days of the date of this order, to lodge with the Court 

via e-mail to JLTOrders@caed.uscourts.gov (with a copy to plaintiff) a 

letter advising of the results of their efforts; and 

2. The Clerk's Office is ordered to forward copies of this order to Monica 

Anderson and the Wardens and Litigation Coordinators at CSPSacramento, CSP-Corcoran, and CCI-Tehachapi.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 15, 2016 /s/ Jennifer L. Thurston 

UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

 

2 This issue needs resolution as soon as possible even if the current trial date is continued given Plaintiff’s current 

change in housing as noted in the order re-scheduling the telephonic trial confirmation hearing.
