IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANA DEMETRIUS BAIRFIELD,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-2712 DFL EFB P

vs.

SOLANO COUNTY SHERIFF’S

DEPARTMENT,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a prisoner without counsel seeking relief for alleged civil rights violations. 

See 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action proceeds on the November 20, 2006, complaint alleging that

several defendants used excessive force against him and that another thereafter refused to

provide medical treatment. On May 3, 2007, plaintiff filed a document styled, “request for

minute order,” in which he alleges that the access he has to legal materials is hindering his

ability to represent himself in this action. The court construes this as a request for a preliminary

injunction directing that he be provided access to necessary legal materials. However, “No

preliminary injunction shall be issued without notice to the adverse party.” Fed. R. Civ. P.

65(a)(1). Defendants have not yet been served with process and have not appeared in this action. 

Thus, the court cannot direct them to respond to plaintiff’s request. Nor has plaintiff established

that he meets the standards for preliminary injunctive relief.
