ORDER RESOLVING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

INQUIRING ABOUT NOTICES OF APPEAL

(Doc. 140.)

This is a civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 by Plaintiff John Ray

Dynes, a prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis. Plaintiff filed the complaint

commencing this action on January 28, 2008. (Doc. 1.) The case proceeded to jury trial on April

14, 2010, and judgment for defendants was entered on April 15, 2010. (Doc. 127.) Plaintiff filed

notices of appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on April 19, 2010 and April 28, 2010. 

(Docs. 131, 137.) 

On April 29, 2010, Plaintiff filed a self-titled motion in which he inquired why his notices

of appeal were not filed and processed by the district court. The district court filed notices of

appeal for Plaintiff on April 19, 2010 and April 28, 2010. (Docs. 131, 137.) The appeals were

processed and forwarded to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on April 22, 2010 and April 29,

2010, respectively. (Docs. 132, 138.)

Plaintiff is advised that further inquiry about his appeals should be directed to the Ninth

Circuit. The district court lacks jurisdiction over this action now that judgment has been entered

and Plaintiff has appealed the district court’s decisions.
