No. 2:15-cv-0583 AC P

ORDER

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTIONS AND

Respondents.

On March 13, 2015, this court filed a copy of a January 29, 2015 letter written and sent by

19

Mr. Ramirez, a 73-year-old state prisoner at the California Medical Facility, which was addressed

20

to Justice Elwood Lui, the Compliance Officer appointed by the Three-Judge Court in the class

21

actions Coleman v. Brown, Case No. 2:90-cv-00520 KJM DAD P, and Plata v. Brown, Case No.

22

C01-1351 TEH. The letter states that Mr. Ramirez was denied parole on January 7, 2015, after

23

appearing at an early suitability hearing under the state’s new elderly parole program. No other

24

matters were submitted by Mr. Ramirez. Review of the letter demonstrates that Mr. Ramirez

25

sought to be informational – he states, “I write this letter not to complain but just to let you know

26

that the Board is not complying with the Court’s ruling.” The court finds that this matter was

27

intended not to commence a habeas corpus action in this court, but for review by Justice Lui.

obtain Justice Lui’s mailing address.
