IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HERMAN T. JOHNSON,

Plaintiff, CV F 04 6311 OWW WMW P

vs. ORDER RE MOTIONS 

 (DOCS 15, 16, 17, 18)

A. K. SCRIBNER, et al.,

Defendants.

On August 22, 2005, an order was entered, dismissing the operative complaint in

this action and granting plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint. Subsequently, plaintiff has

filed motions requesting court orders directing certain individuals to perform certain conduct or

refrain from certain conduct. 

In the order dismissing the complaint, plaintiff was advised that his complaint

failed to state a claim for federal relief. Because there is no operative pleading in this case, the

court does not have any jurisdiction over the individuals identified in plaintiff’s motions. The

court must have personal jurisdiction over the parties to be enjoined; it may not enjoin

defendants not yet served or before the court. Zepeda v. United States I.N.S., 753 F.2d 719, 727

(9th Cir. 1983). 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
