Defendants.

17

On July 14, 2014, plaintiff filed a letter with the court stating that he will soon be

18

transferred to a different prison. (ECF No. 153.) Plaintiff states that if he is not transferred to the

19

R.J. Donovan Correctional Facility (“RJDCF”), it will have a negative impact on his state of

20

mind. (Id.) Plaintiff alleges that on July 3, 2014 he told his mental health clinician, Dr. Kelly,

21

that he has passive thoughts of suicide. (Id.)
On July 7, 2014, plaintiff filed a letter with the court containing sentiments similar to

22
23

those contained in his letter filed July 14, 2014. (See ECF No. 145.) The undersigned directed

24

the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of plaintiff’s July 7, 2014 letter on defendants. (ECF No.

25

149.)

26

The undersigned is concerned by the allegations in plaintiff’s July 14, 2014 letter set forth

27

above. The undersigned directs the Clerk of the Court to serve a copy of plaintiff’s July 14, 2014

28

letter on defendants. Having brought plaintiff’s letter to defendants’ attention, the court
1

1

anticipates that defendants will take appropriate action in response. Defendants are not required

2

to file a response with the court.

3

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a

4

copy of plaintiff’s July 14, 2014 letter (ECF No. 153) on defendants.
