ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant

separate order, the undersigned has ordered service of this complaint.

In the complaint, plaintiff alleges that he is housed at the Deuel Vocational Institution 

(“DVI”). Plaintiff alleges that the water at DVI is contaminated and not fit for human 

consumption. Plaintiff alleges that Dr. Leo told plaintiff to stop drinking the water. Plaintiff 

alleges that the DVI water damaged his liver and that he should not be drinking it due to his 

medical condition. 

On April 20, 2015, plaintiff filed a motion for a temporary restraining order. (ECF No. 6.) 

Plaintiff requests that he be transferred away from DVI to a mainline prison. The grounds of this
