UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GIFT A. Z. DIVINE ALLAH,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT

OF CORRECTIONS, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:06-cv-01262-OWW-NEW (DLB) PC

ORDER ADDRESSING OBJECTIONS AND

FINDING THEM TO BE WITHOUT MERIT

(Docs. 30, 32, and 33)

ORDER THAT NO FURTHER MOTIONS OR

RESPONSES TO THE FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS FILED ON JANUARY

16, 2007, WILL BE CONSIDERED BY THIS

COURT

Plaintiff Gift A. Z. Divine Allah (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in

forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 16, 2007, the

Magistrate Judge dismissed plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend for failure to state any claims

upon which relief may be granted, and issued a recommendation that plaintiff’s motions seeking

preliminary injunctive relief be denied. (Docs. 21, 23.) On March 21, 2007, the undersigned denied

plaintiff’s motions. (Doc. 25.) On March 22, 2007, the Magistrate Judge issued a recommendation

that this action be dismissed based on plaintiff’s failure to comply with the order to file an amended

complaint. (Doc. 26.)

On April 30, 2007, plaintiff filed a motion seeking an extension of time to file an amended

complaint. (Doc. 27.) In an order filed on May 8, 2007, the Magistrate Judge stated

Plaintiff contends that he was released on parole on December 25, 2006, and filed a

notice of change of address to the Povarello House in Fresno. Plaintiff is now back

in custody for a parole violation and the address on his filing reflects that he is at

Wasco State Prison Reception Center. The court did not receive plaintiff’s notice of

change of address to the Povarello House, and his address of record with the court

has remained the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility in Corcoran. In

th[e] interest of justice, the court will vacate its Findings and Recommendations

recommending this action be dismissed for failure to obey a court order and failure

to state claim, filed on March 22, 2007. Plaintiff has thirty days to file an amended

complaint in compliance with the court’s order of January 16, 2007. The court will

provide plaintiff with copies of the orders its issued following plaintiff’s release on

parole. 

(Doc. 28 (emphasis added).)

On May 17, 2007, and on May 23, 2007, plaintiff filed objections to both the

recommendation that his motions for preliminary injunctive relief be denied and the recommendation

that this action be dismissed. (Docs. 30, 32, 33.) Plaintiff’s complaint was found not to state any

claims upon which relief may be granted and plaintiff is being provided with an opportunity to

amend. At this juncture in the proceedings, because there is no case or controversy before the Court

and because the Court only has jurisdiction over plaintiff, the Court is unable to issue any

preliminary injunctions against prison officials. City of Los Angeles v. Lyons, 461 U.S. 95, 102, 103

S.Ct. 1660, 1665 (1983); Valley Forge Christian Coll. v. Ams. United for Separation of Church and

State, Inc., 454 U.S. 464, 471, 102 S.Ct. 752, 757-58 (1982); Jones v. City of Los Angeles, 444 F.3d

1118, 1126 (9th Cir. 2006); Zepeda v. United States Immigration Service, 753 F.2d 719, 727 (9th

Cir. 1985). Plaintiff’s objections to the Findings and Recommendations, which has already been

adopted by the undersigned, are without merit. This Court will entertain no further responses or

motions by plaintiff concerning his motions for preliminary injunctive relief. 

There is no absolutely no basis for objecting to the recommendation that this action be

dismissed because that Findings and Recommendations has been vacated, which means it is null and

void.

On May 8, 2007, plaintiff was provided the opportunity to file an amended complaint within

thirty days. Plaintiff is again warned that if he fails to file an amended complaint, this action will

be dismissed by the Court, with prejudice.

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s objections are without merit; and
