UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

This is a civil rights lawsuit brought by pro se Plaintiff Allen Hammler against various 

staff personnel at Corcoran state prison. In a nutshell, Plaintiff contends that Defendants are 

violating his First Amendment rights by not providing him with properly prepared and fully 

cooked Kosher meals. 

On December 23, 2019, Plaintiff filed a motion for preliminary injunction. See Doc. No. 

64. 

On December 30, 2019, the Magistrate Judge issued a findings and recommendation to 

deny the preliminary injunction. See Doc. No. 65.

On January 15, 2020, Plaintiff filed objections to the findings and recommendation. See

Doc. No. 68. Although the objections are not sworn, Plaintiff objects that Defendants are daily 

interfering with Plaintiff’s meals, that the conduct is not sporadic, and that this is causing him to 

miss meals. See id. Plaintiff states that he is being starved and now weighs only 127 lbs. See id. 

Plaintiff’s objections do not provide several important details.1 Nevertheless, the Court 

finds that the matters raised in Plaintiff’s objections warrant a response from Defendants. The 

 

1 For example, Plaintiff does not explain which meals he is able to consumer and he does not explain his weight loss 

history or what his normal weight may be. Without additional information, Plaintiff stating that his current weight is 

127 lbs. tells the Court very little.
