IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES E. SMITH, CASE NO. CV F 07-0507 LJO WMW

Plaintiff, ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTIONS FOR

INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF

vs. AND FOR JUDGMENT ON PLEADINGS

(Docs. 34, 35.) 

F.B.I., et al,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff James E. Smith (“Mr. Smith”) is California prisoner incarcerated in Kern Valley State

Prison. On March 23, 2007, Mr. Smith filed his petition to seek “legal certified documents to ascertain

proper information regarding his present commitment and his money.” The petition further seeks this

Court’s declaration that defendants violated Mr. Smith’s Freedom of Information Act rights and

unspecified injunctive relief and damages. Since filing his petition, plaintiff has filed motions

(Documents 34 and 35) for injunctive and declaratory relief and for judgment on the pleadings.

Mr. Smith fails to demonstrate he is entitled to reliefsought by his motions. The requested relief

is indecipherable, is beyond the scope of his operative petition and/or is something which this Court is

not empowered to provide. Since Mr. Smith seeks improper relief, this Court DENIES his motions for

injunctive and declaratory relief and for judgment on the pleadings. Moreover, this Court directs the

clerk to term Document 29 which is addressed in the February 20, 2008 findings and recommendations

(Document 39).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 20, 2008 /s/ Lawrence J. O'Neill
