NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JACOB S. SILVERMAN,

Plaintiff, 

v. 

IVERS, et al., 

 Defendants. 

Case No. 17-03700 BLF (PR) 

ORDER DENYING PENDING 

MOTION 

 (Docket No. 36) 

Plaintiff, a California inmate, filed the instant pro se civil rights action pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983 against staff at the Humboldt County Correctional Facility (“HCCF”), 

for deliberate indifference to serious medical needs. The Court found the second amended 

complaint stated cognizable claims and ordered the matter served on Defendants. (Docket 

No. 18.) 

Plaintiff has filed a “motion for good cause for physical examination,” specifically 

for a court appointed neurologist to examine him for nerve damage, which the Court 

construes as a motion for preliminary injunction. (Docket No. 36.) Plaintiff was advised 

in the Court’s order of service that he must serve Defendants with any such motion 

because notice to the adverse party is required under Rule 65(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of
