vs.
REDDING POLICE DEPT., et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER
/

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

16

§ 1983. By order, filed on February 15, 2012, this court, invoking the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. §

17

1651(a) in order not to lose jurisdiction of this case, ordered the warden of Pleasant Valley State

18

Prison or his designee to inform this court, within twenty-one days, whether plaintiff has been

19

denied access to his legal property and the prison law library; if so, the warden or a designee was

20

directed to inform the court of accommodations being made to allow the plaintiff to prosecute

21

this action. The court ordered service by U.S. mail of the February 15, 2012, order upon Pleasant

22

Valley State Prison’s Acting Warden P.D. Brazelton (at P. O. Box 8500, Coalingua, CA 93210).

23

The case docket indicates that Warden Brazelton was served with the order by mail as directed.

24

The mail has not been returned. Nevertheless, no response has been forthcoming from the

25

warden or his office. The warden must now show cause why he should not be found to be in

26

contempt of court and why he should not be sanctioned therefore.
