Plaintiff Donald B. Williams (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this
civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
The action is proceeding against Defendants Enenmoh, Oneyeje, LeMay, Byers,
and Faria for inadequate medical care under the Eighth Amendment.

21

On April 20, 2011, Plaintiff filed a motion for a preliminary injunction. (ECF No. 13.)1

22

Since then, the Court has screened Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint (ECF No. 15) and

23

ordered service on Defendants (ECF No. 26). It appears all Defendants except Defendant

24

Byers have been served, but none have filed a response to Plaintiff’s initial motion for a

25

preliminary injunction.

Plaintiff has also filed another m otion for a prelim inary injunction (ECF No. 24), but it appears to
be duplicative of Plaintiff’s original m otion. Accordingly, the Court will issue an order disregarding
Plaintiff’s second m otion for a prelim inary injunction, and Defendants need not respond to it.

-1-

Accordingly, Defendants are HEREBY ORDERED to file a response to Plaintiff’s

2

motion for a preliminary injunction (ECF No. 13) within thirty days of entry of this Order.
