UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GREGORY DOWNS,

Plaintiff,

v.

LORI BALLS, etc., et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-0507 KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding pro se, in an action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 

1983. On November 4, 2015, this civil rights action was dismissed, and judgment was entered. 

Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal, which is presently pending.

On June 3, 2016, plaintiff filed a request. However, because plaintiff’s appeal is pending, 

this court lacks jurisdiction to address his filing. If plaintiff seeks appointment of counsel to 

represent him on his appeal, he must file his request in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. 

Moreover, the instant action was closed on November 4, 2015. Plaintiff is advised that 

documents filed by plaintiff since the closing date will be disregarded and no orders will issue in 

response to future filings.
