No. CV-05-5121-EFS (E.D. Wash. Mar. 24, 2006)

Opinion

No. CV-05-5121-EFS.

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION


BEFORE THE COURT is Plaintiff's letter requesting immediate injunctive relief, accompanied by 22 pages of documents (Ct. Rec. 22). Because Plaintiff is proceeding pro se the court will liberally construe his letter as a motion for preliminary injunction. Plaintiff is advised, if he wishes to make a request of the court, he must do so in the form of a motion which is properly noted for hearing as required by LR 7.1(h), Local Rules for the Eastern District of Washington. PLAINTIFF IS CAUTIONED THAT ANY FURTHER MOTIONS SUBMITTED TO THE COURT WITHOUT NOTING THEM FOR HEARING IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE LOCAL RULES WILL NOT BE ADDRESSED BY THE COURT.

Plaintiff's request for injunctive relief is premature. The court has no jurisdiction to address Plaintiff's motion until he has filed a legally sufficient complaint. See generally Fed.R.Civ.P. 3 and the notes following the rule. Furthermore, Defendants are not parties to a suit before being served with process, see Neals v. Norwood, 59 F.3d 530, 532 (5th Cir. 1995). Therefore, IT IS ORDERED Plaintiff's Motion (Ct. Rec. 22) is DENIED. IT IS SO ORDERED. The District Court Executive is directed to enter this order and forward a copy to Plaintiff.
