Plaintiff, No. Civ. S 04-0436 DFL PAN P

vs.

Findings and Recommendations

D. Runnels, Warden, et al.,

Defendants.

-oOoPlaintiff, a prisoner without counsel seeking damages and

injunctive relief for civil rights violations, moves for a

temporary restraining order. 

A temporary restraining order may be granted without notice

to a defendant only if it clearly appears from specific facts

shown by affidavit or by the verified complaint that the

he has made to give notice and the reasons supporting his claim

that notice should not be required. Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b). 

Plaintiff has not submitted a written certification of the

efforts, if any, he has made to notify defendants of his request

and he has not submitted reasons in support of a claim notice

should not be required. 

Therefore, I recommend that plaintiff’s November 10, 2004,

motion for a temporary restraining order be denied.

Pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l), these

findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States

District Judge assigned to this case. Within 20 days after being

served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may

file written objections. The document should be captioned

“Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” 

The district judge may accept, reject, or modify these findings

and recommendations in whole or in part.

Dated: May 26, 2005.
