IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT HERRERA,

Plaintiff, No. 2:10-cv-1181-MCE-JFM (PC)

vs.

B. WHEELER, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On May 13, 2010, plaintiff filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). However, the certificate portion of the request which must

be completed by plaintiff’s institution of incarceration was not filled out. Also, plaintiff did not

file a certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the six month period immediately

preceding the filing of the complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). On May 25, 2010, plaintiff

was granted thirty days from the date of the order to file a completed application. Plaintiff failed

to do so. Also on May 25, 2010, plaintiff’s motion to appoint counsel was denied.

On June 28, 2010, plaintiff filed a motion for access to the law library. Plaintiff

contends his legal files have been confiscated and he is being denied access to the law library. 

Plaintiff alleges that the staff at High Desert State Prison are retaliating against him for filing the

present action. Plaintiff seeks injunctive relief, an extension of time on any deadlines imposed in

this matter, a transfer to another facility, and, finally, appointment of counsel.

To the extent plaintiff is raising new claims of retaliation and denial of access to

the courts, plaintiff is advised that those claims are not before the court in the instant complaint. 

To the extent plaintiff is seeking injunctive relief, the court notes that plaintiff has not

demonstrated that there exists a significant threat of irreparable injury. See Coalition for

Economic Equity v. Wilson, 122 F.3d 692, 700 (9th Cir. 1997); Oakland Tribune, Inc. v.

Chronicle Publ’g Co., 762 F.2d 1374, 1376 (9th Cir. 1985). Also, the court is unable to issue an

order against individuals who are not parties to a suit pending before it. See Zenith Radio Corp.

v. Hazeltine Research, Inc., 395 U.S. 100, 112 (1969). Lastly, the court previously denied

plaintiff’s motion for appointment of counsel. 

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s June 28, 2010 motion for access to the law library is denied in part

and granted in part;

a. plaintiff’s request for injunctive relief, transfer to another facility, and

appointment of counsel are denied;

b. plaintiff is granted an extension to file a completed application for in

forma pauperis;

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

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

a. A complete Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner;

and 

b. a certified copy of plaintiff’s prison trust account statement for the six

month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint. 

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a new Application to

Proceed In Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner and a copy of this court’s May 25, 2010 order;
