ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK OF THE
COURT TO CLOSE THIS CASE

On July 11, 2017, petitioner Management & Training Corporation (MTC) (“MTC”)

18

petitioned this court for an emergency order to allow medical staff at Mercy Hospital, in

19

Bakersfield, California, to provide respondent Doru Gabriel Trifu, then a federal prisoner, with

20

involuntary medication, hydration, and nutrition, for a period of seven days. (Doc. No. 2.)

21

On July 13, 2017, this court issued an order granting MTC’s request for a period of

22

twenty-four hours, specifically directing respondent Mr. Trifu to submit to medical treatment

23

deemed necessary by medical officials working on behalf of MTC. (Doc. No. 6 at 2.) The

24

following day, on July 14, 2017, in light of petitioner’s status report and renewed request, this

25

court extended its order for a period of not more than fourteen days. (Doc. No. 11.) The court

26

further directed petitioner MTC to file a status report before the expiration of that time to apprise

27

the court of the nature and extent it had been determined that there was a need for continued

28

involuntarily administered medication, hydration, and nutrition, as well as the specific
1

1

medication, hydration, and nutrition that medical staff has determined to be necessary in order to

2

sustain Mr. Trifu’s life and health. (See id. at 4–5.) On July 27, 2017, petitioner MTC filed a

3

status report, indicating that a court order to continue treatment was no longer necessary due to

4

Mr. Trifu’s improved condition. Accordingly, petitioner MTC noted that it does not intend to

5

seek any further relief from the court in this action. (Doc. No. 12.)

6

In light of petitioner’s representations regarding Mr. Trifu’s restored health and its

7

intention not to seek further relief, the court is satisfied that no further action is necessary in this

8

case. Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.

9

IT IS SO ORDERED.
