 Moreover, to the extent that plaintiff is seeking preliminary injunctive relief, plaintiff’s 1

motion is premature. See Zepeda v. United States Immigration Services, 753 F.2d 719, 727 (9th

and subject matter jurisdiction over the claim; [however] it may not attempt to determine the

rights of persons not before the court.”).

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DELBERT WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-10-0656 DAD P

vs.

SABIN, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff has filed a motion to compel defendants to produce medical documents,

grant plaintiff access to the library, and provide plaintiff with additional sheets of paper so that he

can respond to the court. 

The court will not issue any orders granting or denying relief until an action has

been properly commenced. In order to commence an action, plaintiff must file a complaint, as 1

required by Rule 3 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and either pay the required filing fee

or file an application requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a),

1915(a). On April 2, 2010, the court provided plaintiff with an in forma pauperis application and

 Again, plaintiff is cautioned that failure to comply with the court’s April 2, 2010 order 2

or to seek an extension of time to do so will result in a recommendation that this action be

dismissed without prejudice. 

2

granted him thirty days to submit the completed application or otherwise pay the $350.00 filing

fee. As of the date of this order, plaintiff has submitted neither.2

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s April 16, 2010 motion to

compel (Doc. No. 4) is denied without prejudice.

DATED: April 23, 2010.
