IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CLARENCE GIBSON,

Plaintiff, CV F 00 5381 AWI WMW P

vs. FINDING AND RECOMMENDATION 

 RE MOTIONS FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF 

 (DOCUMENTS 135, 136)

GEORGE GALAZA, et al.,

Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. Pending before the court is Plaintiff’s

Emergency Motion for Appointment of Counsel and Injunctive Relief and Plaintiff’s Motion for

Emergency Restraining Order and Intervention of Federal Court and Investigation, and to Join

New Charges to this Claim.

Plaintiff’s Emergency Motion for Appointment of Counsel and Injunctive Relief consists

of a single page. Plaintiff sets forth a narrative statement of events that occurred on August 12,

2005, regarding efforts of correctional officials at High Desert State Prison to end a hunger strike

by Plaintiff.

This action proceeds on a single claim of excessive force that occurred while Plaintiff

was housed at Corcoran State Prison on June 5, 2000. There are no claims or allegations at issue

regarding any conduct by any individual at High Desert State Prison. None of the individuals

that Plaintiff refers to are parties to this action. The court must have personal jurisdiction over

the parties to be enjoined; it may not enjoin defendants not yet served or before the court. 

Zepeda v. United States I.N.S., 753 F.2d 719, 727 (9th Cir. 1983). This motion should therefore

be denied.

Similarly, Plaintiff’s Emergency Motion for the Appointment of Counsel and Injunctive

Relief and Temporary Restraining order addresses conduct by individuals not a party to this

action. The conduct at issue occurred in August of 2005 at High Desert State Prison. The

allegations in this motion are beyond the scope of this action, and concern individuals who are

not before the court.1

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that Plaintiff’s motions for injunctive

relief be denied.

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(B). Within thirty

days after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written

objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned

“Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Any reply to the objections

shall be served and filed within ten days after service of the objections. The parties are advised

that failure to file objections within the specified time waives all objections to the judge’s

findings of fact. See Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998). Failure to file

objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. 

Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
