Plaintiff requests the Court order officials at Corcoran State Prison to protect him from 19 abuse, retaliation, physical violence, property abuse, “obstruction of access to the courts,” and 20 destruction of legal documents. (See Doc. 2.) 21 On April 26, 2022, the assigned magistrate judge found the motion for preliminary injunctive 22 relief was premature. (Doc. 28 at 2.) The magistrate judge noted Plaintiff was “not entitled to 23 preliminary injunctive relief until such time as the court finds that his complaint contains cognizable 24 claims for relief against the named defendants and the named defendants have been served with the 25 summons and complaint.” (Id., emphasis in original.) Because the defendants have not received 26 service, the magistrate judge found the Court lacks jurisdiction over the defendants at this time. (Id., 27 at 2-3, citing Zepeda v. U.S. Immigr. & Naturalization Serv., 753 F.2d 719, 727 (9th Cir. 1985).) 28 Therefore, the magistrate judge recommended the request for injunctive relief be denied. (Id. at 3.) 1 The Court granted Plaintiff 14 days to file objections to the Findings and Recommendations. 2 (Doc. 28 at 3.) In addition, the Court informed Plaintiff that the “failure to file objections within the 3 || specified time may result in the waiver of rights on appeal.” (/d., citing Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 4 || F.3d 834, 838-39 (9th Cir. 2014); Baxter v. Sullivan, 923 F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991).). 5 According to 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 304, the Court conducted a de novo 6 review of this action. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court concludes the Findings and 7 || Recommendations are supported by the record and proper analysis. Thus, the Court ORDERS: 8 1. The Findings and Recommendations issued by the magistrate judge on April 26, 2022 9 (Doc. 28), are adopted in full. 10 2. Plaintiff's motion for injunctive relief (Doc. 2) is denied. 11 12 IS SO ORDERED. 13 || Dated: _May 27, 2022 Charis [Tourn 14 TED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
