ORDER DENYING MOTION

FOR DECLARATORY

JUDGMENT AND

INJUNCTION

[Doc.2]

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate

Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 72-302.

On May 3, 2007, Petitioner filed a motion for declaratory judgment and injunction. 

Petitioner seeks relief concerning the proper crediting of the time he spends in a substance

abuse program while in prison. The court finds that Petitioner has in no way demonstrated

that this is a matter of undisputed facts, which would justify the granting of declaratory

judgment under Rule 57, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Accordingly, Petitioner’s motion

for a declaratory judgment is HEREBY DENIED.

A preliminary injunction is available to a party who “demonstrates either (1) a

combination of probable success and the possibility of irreparable harm, or (2) that serious

questions are raised and the balance of hardship tips in its favor.” Arcamuzi v. Continental

Air Lines, Inc., 819 F. 2d 935, 937 (9th Cir. 1987). The court finds that Petitioner has failed

to demonstrate any of the above. Accordingly, Petitioner’s motion for injunctive relief is

HEREBY DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
