Plaintiff,

vs.

MARSHALL, et al.,

Defendants.

1:03-cv-06299-AWI-LJO-P

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS (Doc. 44)

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER

(Doc. 43)

Plaintiff, Glenn Mullicane (“plaintiff”), a state prisoner

proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, has filed this civil

rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter

was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 72-302.

On May 9, 2005, the Magistrate Judge filed Findings and

Recommendations herein which were served on the parties and which

contained notice to the parties that any objections to the

Findings and Recommendations were to be filed within thirty (30)

days. To date, the parties have not filed objections to the

Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C.

§ 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 73-305, this Court has conducted a

de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the

entire file, the Court finds the Findings and Recommendations to

be supported by the record and by proper analysis. To prevail on

a motion for preliminary injunctive relief, the moving party must

establish a relationship between the injury claimed in the motion

and the conduct giving rise to the complaint. Lebron v.

Armstrong, 289 F. Supp. 2d 56, 61 (D. Conn. 2003). Plaintiff

seeks a preliminary injunction concerning legal materials, but

the underlying action does not concern access to legal materials. 

As explained by the Magistrate Judge, preliminary injunctive

relief is designed to preserve the status quo regarding the

substance of the case; it is not available for the purpose of

ensuring that Plaintiff can effectively or efficiently litigate

his case. As Plaintiff’s motion seeks to redress an injury

unrelated to the underlying action, the preliminary injunction

must be denied.

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations, filed May 9, 2005,

are ADOPTED IN FULL; and,

2. Plaintiff’s motion for temporary restraining order,

filed April 20, 2005, is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 30, 2005 /s/ Anthony W. Ishii
