FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC WM. WARNER,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-07-1865 LEW GGH P

vs.

KATHY PROSPER, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

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

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 18, 2007, the court found that plaintiff’s complaint stated a

colorable claim for relief and ordered service.

On December 10, 2007, plaintiff filed a motion for a preliminary injunction. In

this motion and his complaint, plaintiff alleges that he is disabled and must shower daily or else

his amputated leg becomes very painful. Plaintiff alleges that prison officials at High Desert

State Prison have not provided him with daily showers or a disability-accessible shower. 

Plaintiff also claims that prison officials are now threatening to transfer him to another prison in

retaliation for filing this lawsuit, rather than accommodating his disability.

The court intends to act on plaintiff’s motion for injunctive relief within twenty

days. Defendants have not been served and are not required to appear. If defendants wish to take
