UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DEVANTE FIELDS,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. SANCHEZ, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:22-cv-01122-ADA-CDB (PC) 

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS AND DENYING

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR PRIORITY 

LEGAL STATUS

(ECF Nos. 8, 10)

Plaintiff Devante Fields (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter was referred to a 

United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On January 18, 2023, the assigned Magistrate Judge issued findings and recommendations 

to deny Plaintiff’s motion for priority legal status, which the Court construes as a request for 

injunctive relief. (ECF No. 10). The Court found that Plaintiff failed to meet the requirements of 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(a)(1); the Court lacked jurisdiction over non-parties; and 

Plaintiff failed to satisfy the factors for the issuance of injunctive relief under Winter v. Natural 

Resources Defense Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008). The Magistrate Judge advised Plaintiff 

that he could file written objections to the findings and recommendations within fourteen days. 

Plaintiff has not filed objections, and the time to do so has passed.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted a 

de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds the findings

Accordingly,

ADOPTED in full; and

2. Plaintiff’s motion for priority legal status, (ECF No. 8), is DENIED.
