Case No. 1:20-cv-01199-SKO (PC)
ORDER DIRECTING SPECIAL

DEFENDANTS AND RESPONSE
TO PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR
TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER

Defendants.

17

Plaintiff Curtis Lee Henderson, Sr., is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

18

pauperis in this civil rights action. The Court has not yet screened Plaintiff’s complaint pursuant

19

to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, and the defendants have therefore not been served with process.

20

On September 8, 2020, Plaintiff filed a motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO),

21

requesting that the Court order officials at Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison,

22

Corcoran, keep Plaintiff in single-cell housing. (Doc. 4.) The Court seeks a response from

23

Defendants before ruling on Plaintiff’s motion for a TRO.

24
25

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS:
1. The California Attorney General’s Office shall make a special appearance on

26

behalf of Defendants for the sole purpose of responding to Plaintiff’s motion for a

27

TRO within 14 days of the date of service of this order;

28

2. Within 14 days of the date of service of Defendants’ response to Plaintiff’s motion

1

for a TRO, Plaintiff may file a reply to Defendant’s response; but he is not

2

required to do so; and,

3

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve copies of the complaint (Doc. 1), the

4

motion for a TRO (Doc. 4), and this order on Supervising Deputy Attorney

5

General Lawrence Bragg.
