ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFF’S
NOTICE

v.
(Doc. 8)
WASCO STATE PRISON, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
On May 25, 2016, Plaintiff, Christopher M. Parnell, filed a document: “It was requested

17
18

by the court to sign for authorization regarding confidentiality of my court proceedings that

19

pertains to injury (great bodily) under the safety & security of CDCR. Respectfully requesting

20

the disposition of all scheduled court proceedings, including any information/discovery. „Brand

21

vs. Maryland.‟ Sincerely Christopher Parnell.” A document requesting a court order must be

22

styled as a motion not as a letter. Fed. R. Civ. P. 7. Thus, the Court STRIKES Plaintiff‟s notice

23

from the record.

24

Moreover, Plaintiff is informed that he has complied with all orders this Court has issued

25

and his complaint is in line for screening pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). Nothing is required

26

of Plaintiff at this time.1 However, Plaintiff‟s use of the phrase “the disposition of all scheduled

27
1

28

Plaintiff is referred to the First Informational Order for information as to the manner in which cases such as this
proceed.

court proceedings,” appears to indicate that Plaintiff no longer desires to pursue this lawsuit. The

2

word “disposition,” in legal terms, means “to dispose of.” If Plaintiff wishes to close this action,

3

he may do so by filing a notice of voluntary dismissal indicating as much.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
