Eric M. Williams (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

17

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 4, 2017, Plaintiff

18

commenced this action, alleging that Dr. Bunn, Teresita Amay, Ph.D., and Navdeep Baath

19

Ph.D. (“Defendants”) denied him Wellbutrin despite his having a medical need for the

20

medication. (ECF No. 1).

21

On February 1, 2018, Plaintiff filed an emergency motion requesting a temporary

22

restraining order. (ECF No. 13). Plaintiff contends that his prescription for Wellbutrin expired

23

on February 15, 2017, and requests that the Court directs California Department of Corrections

24

and Rehabilitation to immediately renew his prescription for Wellbutrin.

25

Defendants have waived service of summons, but have not yet appeared in this action.

26

(ECF No. 14). However, given the nature of Plaintiff’s allegations, the Court will request a

27

response to the emergency motion.

28

Accordingly, based on the foregoing, the Court orders that, within twenty-one (21) days
1

1

of the date of service of this order, Defendants shall file their response to the emergency motion

2

for a temporary restraining order. Plaintiff may serve and file a reply, if any, not more than

3

seven (7) days after being served with any opposition. Additionally, IT IS ORDERED that the

4

Clerk of Court is directed to serve a copy of this order and Plaintiff’s emergency motion for a

5

temporary restraining order, (ECF No. 13), on Supervising Deputy Attorney General Monica

6

Anderson.
