KELLY HARRINGTON, et al.,
Defendants.

17
Plaintiff Lorenzo Angelo Briones, aka Angie Briones CDCR #AY-1396, is a state
18
prisoner proceeding pro se in a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
19
Plaintiff is a male to female transgender inmate. On January 8, 2016, Plaintiff filed a
20
motion requesting that the Court allow her to use her name Angie Briones instead of Lorenzo
21

Briones in this case. Plaintiff is advised that the Court must use Plaintiff’s legal name in court

22
documents. Unless Plaintiff submits proof of a legal name change, the Court must continue to
23

use Plaintiff’s legal name of Lorenzo Briones. However, in deference to Plaintiff’s expressed

24
gender identity, the Court will refer to Plaintiff using the feminine pronoun and will include her
25
name Angie Briones as an alternate name.

27

With respect to Plaintiff’s motion to add Exhibit “A” to the complaint, Plaintiff did not
submit Exhibit “A” with his motion so it is unknown what Plaintiff seeks to add. Plaintiff is

2 the complaint.

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion to change her name on all documents, and to add Exhibit

4 “A” to the complaint is DENIED.
