Roger Walker (“Plaintiff”) is a civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

17

in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 22, 2018, Plaintiff

18

filed a notice to the Court. (ECF No. 25). According to Plaintiff he was transferred to

19

Alameda County Jail without any prior notice, and did not have any effective means of

20

communicating with the Court.

21

through January. Additionally, Coalinga State Hospital was on lockdown from January 3,

22

2018, until February 12, 2018, and all communications were frozen. Plaintiff asks that the

23

Court provide a status update.

There was also difficulty with the mail from November

24

The Court generally does not provide updates on the status of a case. ECF No. 4, pgs.

25

3-4. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s request for a status update will be denied. However, the Court

26

will direct the Clerk of Court to send Plaintiff a copy of all orders that the Court sent to

27

Plaintiff that were returned as undeliverable.

28

Additionally, given Plaintiff’s difficulties in communicating with the Court, the Court
1

1

will grant Plaintiff an additional fourteen days to file his objections to the findings and

2

recommendations that were issued on October 24, 2017.

3

Accordingly, based on the foregoing, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

4

1. Plaintiff’s request for a status update is DENIED;

5

2. Plaintiff has fourteen days from the date of service of this order to file his

6

objections to the findings and recommendations that were issued on October 24,

7

2017; and

8

3. The Clerk of Court is directed to send Plaintiff a copy of ECF No. 21 and ECF

9

No. 23.
