IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BARRY LAMON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-156 GEB KJM P

vs.

DIRECTOR, CALIFORNIA 

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS,

et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is an inmate proceeding pro se with a civil rights action under 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983. He has filed an amended complaint, a motion for reargument, and a notice of related

cases.

I. Notice Of Related Cases

On January 25, 2007, plaintiff filed a notice of related cases under Local Rule 83-

123, in which he claims that several cases in state court as well as Lamon v. Stiles, Civ. No. S07-0015 MCE EFB P and Lamon v. Pliler, Civ. No. S-03-0423 FCD CMK P are related to the

instant action. The court does not see such a close connection between the cases as would justify

relating them within the meaning of the local rules. Moreover, the court cannot order the state

cases related to this pending federal action.

II. Motion For Reargument

On March 23, 2007, plaintiff filed a motion asking this court to transfer the case

to a lower court. It is not clear from the motion whether plaintiff seeks to bring his action in

state court. Because the basis of the motion is not clear, it will be denied.

In addition, plaintiff asks for an “order of protection” under the authority of Local

Rule 65-231, which covers motions for injunctive relief. It appears to be another request to

relate many of plaintiff’s state and federal cases, which this court has found inappropriate.

III. Amended Complaint

The amended complaint states a cognizable claim for relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 and 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). If the allegations of the amended complaint are proven,

plaintiff has a reasonable opportunity to prevail on the merits of this action.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Service is appropriate for the following defendants: Downing, Johnson, Paizis,

Moqhaddis, as they are alleged to have acted in ¶ 32; Walker, as he is alleged to have acted in

¶ 33; Ellis, Parker and Lorusso, as they are alleged to have acted in ¶ 40. 

2. The Clerk of the Court shall send plaintiff eight USM-285 forms, one

summons, an instruction sheet and a copy of the amended complaint filed April 16, 2007.

3. Within thirty days from the date of this order, plaintiff shall complete the

attached Notice of Submission of Documents and submit the following documents to the court:

a. The completed Notice of Submission of Documents;

b. One completed summons;

c. One completed USM-285 form for each defendant listed in number 1

above; and 

d. Nine copies of the endorsed amended complaint filed April 16, 2007.

of service. Upon receipt of the above-described documents, the court will direct the United

States Marshal to serve the above-named defendants.

6. Plaintiff’s March 23, 2007 motion for reargument is denied. 

DATED: October 23, 2007.
