UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MELVIN A. PARKER,

Plaintiff,

v.

WARDEN JEFF LYNCH, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:22-cv-2015 KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding pro se, in an action brought under 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983. On December 30, 2022, plaintiff filed a two-page document styled, “Order to Show 

Cause (Temporary Restraining Order) (Preliminary Injunction),” which he signed on December 

20, 2022. (ECF No. 16.) It appears that this filing may have been intended to accompany 

plaintiff’s previously-filed motion because plaintiff includes the same allegations raised therein. 

(ECF No. 11.) Nevertheless, the filing suffers from the same procedural deficiencies identified in 

the December 27, 2022 order denying the motion without prejudice. Because plaintiff’s 

subsequent filing was signed prior to such order, plaintiff did not have benefit of the standards 

required to move for such injunctive relief. 

Importantly, plaintiff has not yet filed an amended complaint, as he elected to do in his 

December 21, 2022 filing. (ECF No. 12.) Plaintiff was granted an extension of time to do so by 

the December 27, 2022 order.

For all of the above reasons, plaintiff’s motion is denied without prejudice to its renewal.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion (ECF No. 16) is denied 

without prejudice.
