No. 2:15-cv-0507 KJN P

v.

ORDER

LORI BALLS, etc., et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding pro se, in an action brought under 42 U.S.C. §

17
18

1983. On November 4, 2015, this civil rights action was dismissed, and judgment was entered.

19

Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal, which is presently pending.
On June 3, 2016, plaintiff filed a request. However, because plaintiff’s appeal is pending,

20
21

this court lacks jurisdiction to address his filing. If plaintiff seeks appointment of counsel to

22

represent him on his appeal, he must file his request in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

23

Moreover, the instant action was closed on November 4, 2015. Plaintiff is advised that

24

documents filed by plaintiff since the closing date will be disregarded and no orders will issue in

25

response to future filings.
