UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID D. HARRIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

N. KENNEDY, et al.,

Defendant.

No. 2:16-cv-0588 DB P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding pro se, with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff appears to be a mentally ill inmate with a history of attempted suicide. 

Plaintiff’s complaint alleges that two officers failed to take appropriate action when plaintiff 

attempted suicide in August 2015. On June 27, 2016, the court ordered service of the complaint 

on those officers.

On September 7, 2016, plaintiff filed a motion for a temporary restraining order asking 

that he be taken off the “custody watch only list.” Plaintiff states that he is currently in the C.T.C. 

#1 unit for suicidal inmates at CSP-Sacramento. He alleges that he is in danger because he has 

not been fed, has been forced to stand up all night, and has been pepper sprayed. 

In light of plaintiff’s allegations of a threat of imminent harm, the court directs 

Supervising Deputy Attorney General Monica Anderson to address plaintiff’s allegations 

concerning his mental health care.
