No. 2:17-cv-0680 TLN KJN P
Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER
S. KERNAN, et al.,
15
Defendants.
16
17
Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel. On February 18, 2021, plaintiff
18
submitted a document that appears to be his response to the November 4, 2020 order. (ECF No.
19
96.) Plaintiff claims that due to the COVID-19 quarantine, plaintiff cannot access his declarant to
20
obtain a declaration from his confidential source. Plaintiff provides his own declaration
21
purporting to be what the confidential source told plaintiff. However, plaintiff did not witness
22
what took place firsthand, and the information he provides is therefore hearsay. Moreover, as the
23
court explained in the last order, the information provided differs from that first provided in that
24
plaintiff makes no mention of any modified documents that have something written at the top of
25
the pages.
26
In an abundance of caution, plaintiff’s document will be filed under seal. However,
27
because plaintiff has provided only his own self-serving declaration, no further action is taken at
28
this time.
1
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s February 18, 2021 document is
2
filed under seal.
