Elaine K. Villareal (“Plaintiff”) is a prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in
this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
20
On August 17, 2017, Plaintiff filed objections to Defendant’s request for an extension of
21
time. (ECF No. 46). In those objections, Plaintiff states that she believes she is being retaliated
22
against because she filed this lawsuit. According to Plaintiff, on one occasion, she was not
23
provided with lunch. On another occasion, she was woken up by a male voice over her intercom
24
at 4:30 a.m. asking her if she wanted to go to yard, even though she was not scheduled to go to
25
yard. On another occasion, she was not provided with her medication. And finally, on another
26
occasion a correctional officer came into her cell and took her blanket, as well as all but one pair
27
28
of her underwear (and the only pair she was left with was ripped).
Because Plaintiff is alleging that she may be experiencing retaliation because she filed this

action, the Court will require a response from Defendant regarding the allegations of retaliation.
Accordingly, based on the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Defendant shall file a response to Plaintiff’s allegations of retaliation within
3
4
twenty-one (21) days from the date of service of this order; and
5
2. The Clerk of Court is directed to send Plaintiff a copy of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
