DISCUSSION
On December 17, 2014, this Court entered a screening order dismissing Plaintiff’s
complaint in its entirety for failure to state a claim. (Doc. 24 at 8). The Court granted Plaintiff
until January 16, 2015, to file an amended complaint seeking injunctive relief. (Id.). The Court
also denied Plaintiff’s eleven motions for protective orders without prejudice and directed
Plaintiff to file one motion for injunctive relief which incorporated those allegations and
identified the specific relief sought. (Id. at 9). The Court also dismissed Plaintiff’s petitions
for writ of habeas corpus without prejudice and directed Plaintiff to file his petitions for writ of
habeas corpus in a new action. (Id.). The Court informed Plaintiff that if he did not file an
amended complaint by January 16, 2015, the Court would dismiss the case with prejudice.
(Id.).

On December 23, 2014, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal as to this Court’s screening
2
order. (Doc. 27). That same day, Plaintiff also filed two petitions for writ of habeas corpus.
3
(Doc. 26, 28).
4
On March 25, 2015, the Ninth Circuit held that “the questions raised in [Plaintiff’s]
5
appeal [were] so insubstantial as not to require further argument” and then summarily affirmed
6
this Court’s denial of preliminary injunctive relief. (Doc. 37 at 1).
7
The Court now grants Plaintiff 30 days from the date of this order to comply with this
8
Court’s December 17, 2014, order. Plaintiff has until April 27, 2015, to file an amended
9
complaint seeking injunctive relief. If he fails to file an amended complaint by April 27, 2015,
10
the Court will dismiss this action with prejudice.
11
Furthermore, pursuant to this Court’s screening order, Plaintiff is ordered to not file any
12
more petitions for writ of habeas corpus in this action. Accordingly, the Court dismisses
13
Plaintiff’s petitions for writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 26, 28) without prejudice and directs Plaintiff
14
to file his petitions for writ of habeas corpus in a new action if he believes he has a proper legal
15
basis to do so.
16
II.
CONCLUSION
17
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the petitions for writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 26, 28)
18
are dismissed without prejudice. Plaintiff may file a petition for writ of habeas corpus and an
19
in forma pauperis application in a new action, but he may not file any further habeas corpus
20
petitions in this case.
21
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall send plaintiff two copies of an
22
in forma pauperis application form for a prisoner, one copy of the instructions for same, two
23
copies of a blank 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas corpus form, and one copy of instructions for the
24
same.
25
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, plaintiff has until April 27, 2015, to file an amended
26
complaint seeking injunctive relief in compliance with the court’s instructions in the screening
27
order (Doc. 24 at 6-8). If he fails to file an amended complaint by April 27, 2015, this action

will be dismissed with prejudice.

(Doc. 25), and a copy of this Court’s December 17, 2014 screening order (Doc. 24). If Plaintiff
