United States District Court

Eastern District of California 

Patrick Ronald Holley, 

Plaintiff, No. Civ. S 04-1425 GEB PAN P

vs. Order

California Department of

Corrections, et al.,

Defendants.

-oOoFebruary 10, 2005, plaintiff moved for a temporary

restraining order and preliminary injunction but did not serve

the papers upon defendants (who have appeared). Plaintiff states

prison officials confiscated unspecified documents and refused

plaintiff’s request for free photocopy service. It is

accompanied by a letter requesting the court serve the motion on

defendants.

Subsequent filings by plaintiff (viz., March 30, 2005, 102-

page motion to compel; April 28, 2005, 5-page reply re motion to

compel; May 10, 2005, 7-page motion to file supplemental

pleading) bear proof of service upon defendants. Accordingly,

the court infers the problem was isolated or has been cured. 

There is nothing to suggest how claimed confiscation of documents

impacts plaintiff’s ability to pursue this action. 

In these circumstances, the court will not entertain

plaintiff’s request for emergency injunctive relief. 

Accordingly, plaintiff’s February 10, 2005, motion for a

temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction is denied

without prejudice for plaintiff’s failure to serve it on

defendants.

So ordered.

Dated: May 31, 2005.
