 To the extent that plaintiff is seeking a court order requiring prison officials to allow him to go to the law 1

library, the court has no jurisdiction to issue such an order, as it would not serve to remedy the cognizable claims in

this action. Flast v. Cohen, 392 U.S. 83, 88 (1968); Rivera v. Freeman, 469 F. 2d 1159, 1162-63 (9th Cir. 1972).

CASE NO. 1:05-CV-01438-OWW-LJO-P

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE A

THIRD AMENDED COMPLAINT

(Doc. 25)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK’S OFFICE TO

PROVIDE PLAINTIFF WITH THREE CIVIL

RIGHTS COMPLAINT FORMS AND AN IN

FORMA PAUPERIS APPLICATION

Plaintiff Donald C. Bachman (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On May 25, 2006, the court issued

an order requiring plaintiff to either file a third amended complaint or notify the court of his

willingness to proceed only on his cognizable excessive force and equal protection claims, within

thirty days. On June 5, 2006, plaintiff filed what the court construes to be a motion seeking an

extension of time to file a third amended complaint in compliance with the court’s order. In 1

addition, plaintiff seeks three civil rights complaint forms and one application to proceed in forma

pauperis.

28 Although plaintiff requests two “amended” section 1983 complaint forms and one “regular” section 1983 2

complaint form, the court has only one form complaint available.

2

Plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time and for forms is HEREBY GRANTED. Plaintiff

has thirty (30) days from the date of service of this order within which to comply with the court’s

order of May 25, 2006. The Clerk’s Office shall send plaintiff three civil rights complaint forms and

one application to proceed in forma pauperis by a prisoner.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
