Honorable Mark A. Goldsmith
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE (ECF NO. 12)
ELIZABETH A. STAFFORD UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff Victor Lee Crump, a pro se prisoner of the Michigan Department of Corrections, sues defendants under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. ECF No. 1. The Honorable Mark A. Goldsmith referred the case to the undersigned for all pretrial matters under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). ECF No. 5; ECF No. 14.
Lee moves for an order directing defendants to show cause why they should not be found in contempt for transferring Lee to another prison.ECF No. 12. He contends that (1) the new facility lacks interpreter services that he requires because of his hearing impairment, (2) receipt of his mail has been delayed, and (3) the transfer is somehow misleading to the Court. But Lee does not explain why those issues would support a finding of contempt. For example, he has not shown that defendants have violated a court order. Thus, Lee's motion is DENIED.
