Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

C. REIF, et al.,
Defendants.

17

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights

18

action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On July 30, 2019, plaintiff filed a motion for a

19

preliminary injunction and a temporary restraining order requesting a transfer to Corcoran State

20

Prison. ECF No. 102 at 4. In the motion, plaintiff indicates that he was beaten by a non-party

21

correctional officer in retaliation for filing the instant lawsuit against defendant J. Gomez. ECF

22

No. 102 at 1-2. In this same motion, plaintiff alleges that defendant Gomez also punched him on

23

July 24, 2019. The seriousness of the allegations in the pending motion specifically referencing a

24

defendant in this civil action necessitate a response from defendant Gomez.

25

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

26

1. Defendant Gomez is ordered to file a response to plaintiff’s July 30, 2019 motion for

27

a preliminary injunction (ECF No. 102) within 14 days from the date of this order.

28

2. Defendants’ response shall include a copy of any incident or I.S.U. reports related to
1

any July 24, 2019 use of force against plaintiff.1
