Plaintiff Allen Hammler is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in this civil rights 

action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On September 20, 2019, the court ordered that plaintiff 

pay the filing fee within 45 days. ECF No. 4. Plaintiff has not done so. The court therefore

permission to file a 37-page complaint. ECF No. 2. The court is in receipt of plaintiff’s 37-page 

complaint, see ECF No. 1, and will consider it if plaintiff’s case is not dismissed. The motion is 

therefore granted. Second, plaintiff moves the court for an order stopping certain unnamed prison 

employees from impeding his ability to prosecute this case. ECF No. 6. This court has no 

jurisdiction over individuals who are not parties to this case. The motion is therefore denied. The 

court will, however, attempt to enlist the voluntary assistance of the litigation coordinator at 

plaintiff’s institution. The clerk’s office is therefore ordered to send a copy of this order to the 

litigation coordination at California State Prison, Corcoran, who may be able to assist plaintiff 

with the initial steps of this case. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
