Petitioner,

DAVE DAVEY,
14
ORDER
Respondent.
15
Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 28
16
17
U.S.C. § 2254. He filed a motion alleging that the property officer at his institution of
18
incarceration refused to provide him his legal property without an order from the court directing
19
him to do so. ECF No. 34. The court directed counsel for defendants to inquire into the status of
20
plaintiff’s access to his legal property. ECF No. 41. Before the time for responding to that order
21
passed, plaintiff filed a notice informing the court that he had been provided with his legal
22
property and access to the law library. ECF No. 42. Defendants then notified the court that they
23
would comply with the court’s order if the court deemed it necessary in light of plaintiff’s notice.
24
ECF No. 43.

Because plaintiff’s April 26, 2017 notice makes clear that he has been provided with his
2
legal property, his February 8, 2017 motion (ECF No. 34) is DENIED as moot. Defendants need
3
not inquire into the status of plaintiff’s access to his legal property as directed in the April 19,
4
2017 order (ECF No. 41).
