Plaintiff has requested an extension of time to file an amended complaint pursuant to the court's order of January 20, 2010. In addition, he has requested that the court direct the prison to give him access to the law library. The underlying action stems from actions that occurred at Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center. Plaintiff's request would involve the court directing parties who are not defendants in this action to act. 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). ///// ///// /////
