Gordon Bullock (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner (prison number AP-9611), and is

16

proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §

17

1983. Plaintiff is currently incarcerated at California Health Care Facility.

18

On July 20, 2017, Plaintiff filed an emergency motion to compel Court to transfer for

19

safety reasons. (ECF No. 60). According to Plaintiff, on April 28, 2017, when he returned to

20

his cell, his glasses were broken, and his ink pens, pencils, writing paper, and indigent

21

envelopes were gone. Plaintiff alleges this was done to stop his legal work and ability to file

22

complaints. Plaintiff filed a complaint with the prison, but nothing was done.

23

Plaintiff further alleges that on June 27, 2017, Sgt. Hammoudea and a correctional

24

officer came towards Plaintiff after Plaintiff came in from the patio. Hammoudea told Plaintiff

25

that he was tired of Plaintiff filing complaints and was going to tear up Plaintiff’s locker.

26

Plaintiff said he was going to file a complaint about Hammoudea’s behavior, and Hammboudea

27

yelled “If Bullock files any more complaints I’m coming back and tearing up everyone[’]s

28

locker.” Plaintiff believes this was done with the intent of getting Plaintiff jumped or stabbed.

Plaintiff filed a complaint about this, but the warden refuses to control staff.
Finally, Plaintiff alleges that the prison has now stopped giving him the medication he
needs to treat his high level of Valley Fever.

Given these allegations, and the concern that staff at California Health Care Facility are

5

attempting to prevent Plaintiff from prosecuting this case before this Court, the Court will

6

request that the Warden of California Health Care Facility file a response to these allegations.

7

Accordingly, based on the foregoing, the Court orders that, within fourteen (14) days

8

from the date of service of this order, the California Health Care Facility file a response to

9

Plaintiff’s allegations that staff at California Health Care Facility are attempting to prevent

10

Plaintiff from prosecuting this case.

12

order and Plaintiff’s motion to compel Court to transfer for safety reasons (ECF No. 60) on

Supervising Deputy Attorney General Monica Anderson, the Warden of California Health Care

14

Facility, and the Litigation Coordinator at California Health Care Facility.
