IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSEPH BECKER, No. 2:12-CV-3040-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

K. FANG, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion for temporary restraining order

and/or injunctive relief (Doc. 2). By separate order, the court has found plaintiff’s complaint

appropriate for service, and has set forth the steps necessary to proceed with service. Plaintiff

alleges in his complaint and motion that he was removed from the enhanced outpatient program

(EOP) resulting in his decompensating and possible suicide. He claims the decision to remove

him from EOP status was done without regards to his medical needs, including his history of

suicide ideation and attempts, and was made deliberately with the knowledge that he will

decompensate and be exposed to the risk of suicide. He seeks an order from the court enjoining

defendants from removing him from EOP status.
