IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DENNIS MARTEL,

Plaintiff, No. CIV-S-04-0014 ALA P 

vs.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT

OF CORRECTIONS, et al., ORDER

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On August 8, 2007, this court granted defendants motion

for summary judgment. Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal on August 27, 2007. On August

27, 2007, Plaintiff also filed a motion requesting an extension of time to submit his

appellate brief. 

When a party appeals to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Ninth

Circuit Court of Appeals then has jurisdiction over the matter. This court does not have

jurisdiction to rule on a matter before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. As such,

Plaintiff’s request is not ripe. If Plaintiff intended to seek an extension of time from the

Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Plaintiff should file his request with the Ninth Circuit

Court of Appeals.
