#32. Plaintiff asks that the court order staff at plaintiff’s prison to return plaintiff’s legal property

and to provide plaintiff with access to his prison’s law library. Plaintiff’s requests will be denied

access to the prison law library at this stage of this case. Plaintiff is informed that if he seeks

similar relief in the future he must explain in specific terms how and why the actions of prison

staff are impeding his ability to litigate this case.
