Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil

16

rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The action was dismissed with

17

prejudice for failure to state a claim, and Plaintiff appealed. (ECF Nos. 38 & 42.) Before

18

the Court are Plaintiff’s February 21, 2017 “Motion to Add Jurisdiction” and “Motion to

19

Add Jurisdiction [and for a] Preliminary Injunction.” (ECF No. 40 & 41.)

20

As Plaintiff’s case is now closed, the desired relief is not available. See Zepeda v.

21

United States Immigration Serv., 753 F.2d 719, 727 (9th Cir. 1985) (the Court lacks

22

jurisdiction to direct the actions of parties not before the Court).

23

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motions are HEREBY DENIED.

24
IT IS SO ORDERED.
