ORDER DENYING MOTION

FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER

WITHOUT PREJUDICE;

DENYING MOTION FOR

SERVICE WITHOUT

PREJUDICE 

(Docket Nos. 31, 33)

Plaintiff originally filed a civil rights action in the United States District Court for

the Eastern District of California. After Plaintiff filed an amended complaint in that

Court on August 27, 2002, the Court ordered Plaintiff’s claims that related to events that

occurred at Pelican Bay State Prison (“PBSP”) transferred to this Court. On September

15, 2004, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend, to include only

those claims relating to the incidents at Pelican Bay State Prison and the Defendants

involved in the PBSP claims. On September 16, 2005, the Court granted Plaintiff’s

motion to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff has filed a motion for protective order and

a motion for service of the amended complaint.

Order Denying Motion for Protective Order Without Prejudice; Denying Motion for Service Without Prejudice 

P:\pro-se\sj.jf\cr.03\Stearns562misc2

Because the Court has yet to review the amended complaint, Plaintiff’s motion for

protective order and motion for service of the amended complaint (docket nos. 31, 33) are

DENIED without prejudice. The Court will review the amended complaint pursuant to

28 U.S.C. 1915A and, if appropriate, order service of the amended complaint in a

separate written order. The Clerk shall terminate the pending motions (docket nos. 31,

33) and send Plaintiff a copy of the docket sheet with this order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: 3/20/06
