Pending before the court is plaintiff's request for an injunction (Doc. 89). Plaintiff has filed this request for injunctive relief against individuals who are not named as defendants in this action. This court is unable to issue an order against individuals who are not parties to a suit pending before it. See Zenith Radio Corp. v. Hazeltine Research, Inc., 395 U.S. 100, 112 (1969). The request must, therefore, be denied, but without prejudice to plaintiff's right to seek relief in a separate civil rights action against those individuals he claims are retaliating against him. /// 1 DWAYNE EICHLER, Plaintiff, FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS No. CIV S-06-2894-JAM-CMK-P IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
