IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JONATHAN LEE RICHES, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S- 07-2182 GEB GGH P

vs.

ERIC ROBERT RUDOLPH, et al., 

Defendants. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

Plaintiff, a federal prisoner in South Carolina, asks this court to issue a temporary

restraining order prohibiting defendants from, inter alia, distributing plaintiff’s putatively

“copyrighted pro-abortion material,” which he contends is accompanied by threats of violence. 

Plaintiff does not demonstrate that this court has jurisdiction to issue such an order, that this is an

appropriate venue for such an order, see 28 U.S.C. § 1391, et seq., or that he has any underlying

cognizable claim, see 28 U.S.C. § 1331 et seq. Nor has plaintiff sought leave to proceed in

forma pauperis or paid the requisite filing fee. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(a). Plaintiff’s

request is frivolous and the court will recommend this action be dismissed. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that plaintiff’s wholly

inapposite and unsupported request for a TRO be vacated and this action be dismissed as

frivolous.
