HONORABLE DENISE PAGE HOOD

v.

CORRECTIONS, et al.,

ORDER DENYING MOTIONS FOR GUIDANCE
This matter is before the Court on Motions for Guidance1 filed by non-party Jimmie Nicholas
Brzezinski seeking advice as to whether he can move under this case for an order enforcing the
injunction issued in this case or whether he should file an original lawsuit.
Plaintiff Walter Jones filed a Complaint on July 19, 2005. On September 28, 2006, the Court
entered an Order issuing a preliminary injunction enjoining Defendants from enforcing MDOC PD
05.03.118(HH)(23)(Effective January 1, 2006) pending the resolution of the case. (Doc. #46) On
August 31, 2010, the Court entered a Judgment against Plaintiff and an Order dismissing the case
for mootness because Defendants eliminated PD 05.03.118(HH)(23) on September 14, 2009. (Doc.
# 113) Any preliminary injunction issued by the Court has now been rendered moot and no longer
in effect.
As to non-party Brzezinski’s Motion for Guidance on how to proceed with his claim, the
Court is unable to render any such advise. A court does not render advisory opinions or provide any

1

twice.

The two Motions for Guidance filed are the same motion which was inadvertently filed

party with legal advise. See, Smith v. Palmer, 2011 WL 2623301 at *2 (E.D. Mich. Jul. 5,
2011)(citing McCaskle v. Wiggins, 465 U.S. 168, 183-84 (1984)(A litigant does not have a
constitutional right to receive personal instruction from the trial judge regarding procedures.)).
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that non-party Jimmie Nicholas Brzezinski’s Motions for Guidance
[Docket Nos. 123 and 124] are DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any appeal from this Court’s Order is frivolous and not
taken in good faith. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3); Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 445 (1962),
McGore v. Wrigglesworth, 114 F.3d 601, 610-11 (6th Cir. 1997).
