ORDER (Doc. 340) 

 Scott Stearns (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in

this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pursuant to Title 28 U.S.C.

§636(c)(1), the parties have consented to the jurisdiction of the United States Magistrate Judge. 

On August 4, 2005, Plaintiff moved for a Temporary Restraining Order. Plaintiff states

that new case law in the Northern District of California provides that an inmate who is labeled as

a gang member may be released after 6 years with no gang acts alleged. Plaintiff alleged that he

should now be released. 

November 7, 2005, the Court issued Findings and Recommendations that the Motion for

Temporary Restraining Order be denied along with an Order denying several Motions. Plaintiff

filed Objections to the Findings and Recommendations on November 17, 2005. During the
