UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DOUGLAS DANIEL CLARK,

Plaintiff,

v.

KEVIN CHAPPELL, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 11-cv-03520-YGR (PR)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S 

REQUEST TO VOLUNTARILY 

DISMISS ALL CLAIMS AGAINST 

DEFENDANT CHAPPELL; AND 

DENYING HIS MOTION FOR 

HEARING

Before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion entitled, “Request for Hearing and Motion to 

Eliminate One Defendant and Greatly Reduce the Need for Any Expenditure of Resources For All 

In Regard to ‘Chappell’” Dkt. 63. Plaintiff requests to voluntarily dismiss all claims against 

Defendant Chappell, stating as follows:

Requested Hearing or Action in Lieu of Hearing:

I believe we can do without Chappell as a named defendant. 

The set of rules he created by his signature, O.P. 608, once held 

“Article 10 Appeal Rules.” He has since voided that entire section. 

He now follows the director Secretary’s 15 CCR Article 8. Appeal 

Rules, which state:

I have unfettered rights to file grievances. 

Then it says I only can appeal one issue per two week period. 

I arsrived [sic] in 1983, and it was two per week. Now it is one 

quarter that. 

Then if I dare exceed this unconstitutional limit, I am on a 

Year’s Restriction to one per month (second year of that is 

underway). 

That part of this claim is alive and well against Dr. Jeffery 

Beard.

Id. at 5. 

Plaintiff’s “Request for Hearing and Motion to Eliminate One Defendant and Greatly 

Reduce the Need for Any Expenditure of Resources For All In Regard to ‘Chappell’” is 

GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. Dkt. 63. The Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s request to 

voluntarily dismiss all claims against Defendant Chappell. The Court finds no hearing is 

necessary to rule on Plaintiff’s request; therefore, his request for a hearing is DENIED.
