ORDER DISREGARDING PLAINTIFF’S
MOTION FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

v.
(Doc. 32)
NASTRAN HASHEMI,

13

Defendant.

14
15

Plaintiff, Raul Alvares, is a state prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis, who has

16

previously been proceeding pro se. Plaintiff’s motion for appointment of counsel was recently

17

granted; Plaintiff has been represented since August 31, 2017, and is no longer pro se.

18

30, 31.)

19

(Docs.

On September 11, 2017, Plaintiff filed a motion seeking injunctive relief in which he

20

states he believes he will be transferred, and requests that he only be transferred to Chino and that

21

he not be separated from his legal property. (Doc. 32.) It appears that Plaintiff was not served a

22

copy of the order which identified his newly appointed counsel, and is unaware that counsel was

23

appointed after Plaintiff filed his motion. Since Plaintiff is represented, he should refrain from

24

filing documents and should only contact the Court through his attorney.

25

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

26

1. Plaintiff’s motion for injunctive relief, filed on September 11, 2017, (Doc. 32), is
DISREGARDED;1 and

27
28

1

Nothing in this order prohibits Plaintiff’s counsel from filing a substantially similar motion if deemed necessary.

1

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve on Plaintiff a copy of this order and the

2

order appointing counsel which issued on August 31, 2017 (Doc. 31).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
