Defendant.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding pro se, with a civil rights action pursuant to 42

18

U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff appears to be a mentally ill inmate with a history of attempted suicide.

19

Plaintiff’s complaint alleges that two officers failed to take appropriate action when plaintiff

20

attempted suicide in August 2015. On June 27, 2016, the court ordered service of the complaint

21

on those officers.

22

On September 7, 2016, plaintiff filed a motion for a temporary restraining order asking

23

that he be taken off the “custody watch only list.” Plaintiff states that he is currently in the C.T.C.

24

#1 unit for suicidal inmates at CSP-Sacramento. He alleges that he is in danger because he has

25

not been fed, has been forced to stand up all night, and has been pepper sprayed.

26

In light of plaintiff’s allegations of a threat of imminent harm, the court directs

27

Supervising Deputy Attorney General Monica Anderson to address plaintiff’s allegations

28

concerning his mental health care.
