IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA HERMAN JOHNSON, Petitioner, No. CIV S-08-2995 GEB CHS

ORDER

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

order on the same date, the magistrate judge granted petitioner a 30 day extension of time to file objections to the pending findings and recommendations on the merits of petitioner's application for writ of habeas corpus. The May 26, 2010 findings and recommendations recommending that petitioner's motion for temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction be denied were served on all parties and contained notice to all parties that any objections were due within twenty-one days. Neither party has filed objections to the May 26, 2010 findings and recommendations. The court finds the May 26, 2010 findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by the proper analysis. As set forth by the magistrate judge, petitioner's motion for temporary restraining order seeks relief concerning the conditions of his confinement and thus the appropriate vehicle for his request would be a separate action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. 2. The findings and recommendations filed May 26, 2010, are adopted in full; and Petitioner's May 20, 2010 motion for temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction is denied. Dated: August 5, 2010
