(ECF Nos. 31, 32) 14 C. GRIECO 15 Defendants. 16 17 Xzavr Moore also known as Amber Moore (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro 18 se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Court 19 20 screened Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint and found a cognizable First Amendment retaliation claim against Defendant C. Greico. (ECF No. 17) 21 On April 30, 2019, Plaintiff filed a request asking the Court to issue a “decree for CCWF 22 to stop opening and reading [her] legal mail.” (ECF No. 31) Plaintiff alleges that prison officials 23 opened her legal mail on both 4/16/19 and 4/26/19 without her permission. (Id.) 24 On May 16, 2019, Magistrate Judge Erica P. Grosjean entered findings and 25 recommendations construing Plaintiff’s request as a motion for an injunction to prohibit prison 26 staff from opening or reading Plaintiff’s legal mail in her absence, and recommending that 27 Plaintiff’s motion be denied without prejudice, as there is not a sufficient nexus between the 28 allegations in the First Amended Complaint and Plaintiff’s requested injunction. (ECF No. 32.) 1 1 2 Plaintiff was provided an opportunity to file objections to the findings and recommendations. (Id.) Plaintiff did not do so. 3 In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 304, this 4 Court had conducted a de novo review of this matter. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, 5 the Court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and proper 6 analysis. 7 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 8 1. The findings and recommendations issued on May 16, 2019 are ADOPTED in full; and 9 10 2. Plaintiff’s Motion for Injunctive Relief (ECF No. 31) is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. 11 12 IT IS SO ORDERED. 13 Dated: 14 /s/ Lawrence J.
