present action. Plaintiff seeks injunctive relief, an extension of time on any deadlines imposed in this matter, a transfer to another facility, and, finally, appointment of counsel. To the extent plaintiff is raising new claims of retaliation and denial of access to the courts, plaintiff is advised that those claims are not before the court in the instant complaint. To the extent plaintiff is seeking injunctive relief, the court notes that plaintiff has not demonstrated that there exists a significant threat of irreparable injury. See Coalition for Economic Equity v. Wilson, 122 F.3d 692, 700 (9th Cir. 1997); Oakland Tribune, Inc. v. Chronicle Publ'g Co., 762 F.2d 1374, 1376 (9th Cir. 1985). Also, the 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). Lastly, the court previously denied plaintiff's motion for appointment of counsel. Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. Plaintiff's June 28, 2010 motion for access to the law library is denied in part and granted in part; a. plaintiff's request for injunctive relief, transfer to another facility, and appointment of counsel are denied; b. plaintiff is granted an extension to file a completed application for in forma pauperis; 2. Within thirty days from the date of this order, plaintiff shall complete the attached Notice of Submission and submit the following documents to the court: a. A complete Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner; and b. a certified copy of plaintiff's prison trust account statement for the six month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint. 3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a new Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner and a copy of this court's May 25, 2010 order;
