HOLLIS, Plaintiff, ORDER AND INSTRUCTIONS TO THE CLERK No. C 06-2790 TEH (PR) IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

State Prison officials from withholding and denying Plaintiff access to his legal property . . . and access to an adequate law library." Doc. #38. Given that plaintiff recently filed a civil action in the

Eastern District to address this very issue, see Hollis v. McGuire, No. 09-1065-KJM (E.D. Cal.), Doc. #6 at 1, it appears that this issue remains unresolved. To assist Plaintiff in timely filing his Opposition to Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment and in the interest of justice, the Clerk is directed to mail Plaintiff a complete copy of the First Amended Complaint any attachments thereto, Doc. #8, as well as the Order of Service. Doc. #15.

The Court also once again encourages HDSP officials to allow Plaintiff reasonable access to his legal property and the law library so that the legal proceedings to which Plaintiff is a party may be resolved promptly and expeditiously.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
