No. CV 08-2225-PHX-JAT

ORDER

On December 12, 2008, this Court screened Plaintiff’s complaint pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1915(e) and found the complaint did not meet the pleading standard of Federal Rule

of Civil Procedure 8. The Court ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint by January

23, 2009, or his case would be dismissed pursuant to both 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) and Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) (failure to comply with a court order). Plaintiff failed to file

an amended complaint and, accordingly, the Court dismissed this case without prejudice on

February 6, 2009.

In June 2009, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and

Preliminary Injunction (Doc. # 11) and a Motion to Appoint Special Advocate (Doc. # 12).

Plaintiff did not move for reconsideration of the Court’s February 6 Order dismissing

Plaintiff’s action. Rather, Plaintiff simply re-filed a motion for a temporary restraining order.

This case having been dismissed for the reasons stated in the Court’s February 6 Order, and

the Clerk of the Court having already closed this case,

Accordingly,
