The matter was referred to a United 17 States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 72-302. 18 On September 4, 2009, the Magistrate Judge recommended that Plaintiff ’s motions seeking 19 preliminary injunctive relief be denied as moot. The parties were given fifteen days within which 20 to file objections. Plaintiff filed an objection on September 18, 2009. 21 In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted a 22 de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds the Findings 23 and Recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper analysis. 24 Plaintiff ’s motions, in which he sought an order directing the release of his legal material, 25 are rendered moot by his concession that he received his legal material. (Doc. 68.) In addition, the 26 Court lacks jurisdiction to issue an order intended to remedy Plaintiff’s current conditions of 27 confinement because such an order would not remedy any of the legal claims in this action, which 28 arise from events that occurred at a different prison in 2007.
