FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION REGARDING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF [ECF No. 30]

ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME [ECF No. 31]

DENNIS L. BECK, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff Kevin D. Bryant ("Plaintiff") is a California state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on December 26, 2012. On November 1, 2013, the Court dismissed the complaint with leave to file an amended complaint. On December 2, 2013, Plaintiff filed a first amended complaint.

Pending before the Court are Plaintiff's motions for preliminary injunctive relief and extension of time filed on April 8, 2015, and April 20, 2015. In his motions, Plaintiff asks that the Court issue an order directing Warden Dave Davey of California State Prison — Corcoran to transport all of his property to California Men's Colony. The Court's jurisdiction is limited to the parties before it in this action, i.e., Defendants Waddle and Castellanos, and to Plaintiff's claim of retaliation arising from an incidents occurring between November 30, 2010, and August of 2011. See, e.g., Steel Co. v. Citizens for a Better Env't, 523 U.S. 83, 103-04, 118 S.Ct. 1003 (1998) ("[The] triad of injury in fact, causation, and redressability constitutes the core of Article III's case-or-controversy requirement, and the party invoking federal jurisdiction bears the burden of establishing its existence.") (citation omitted); American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada v. Masto, 670 F.3d 1046, 1061-62 (9th Cir. 2012) ("[F]ederal courts may adjudicate only actual, ongoing cases or controversies.") (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). In addition, any award of equitable relief is governed by the Prison Litigation Reform Act, which provides in relevant part, "Prospective relief in any civil action with respect to prison conditions shall extend no further than necessary to correct the violation of the Federal right of a particular plaintiff or plaintiffs. The court shall not grant or approve any prospective relief unless the court finds that such relief is narrowly drawn, extends no further than necessary to correct the violation of the Federal right, and is the least intrusive means necessary to correct the violation of the Federal right." 18 U.S.C. § 3626(a)(1)(A).

In this case, Warden Dave Davey is not a party to this action and therefore the Court has no personal jurisdiction over Warden Dave Davey. In addition, the Court's jurisdiction is limited to the issuance of orders that remedy the underlying legal claim. Id. Therefore, the Court will recommend that Plaintiff's motion for injunctive relief be denied.

Plaintiff has also requested an extension of time to file an opposition to Defendants' motion to revoke Plaintiff's in forma pauperis status and dismiss the case, filed on April 8, 2015. Good cause having been presented and good cause appearing therefor, the Court will grant Plaintiff an extension of thirty (30) days from the date of service of this order to file an opposition to Defendants' motion to dismiss.

RECOMMENDATION

Such a document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Any reply to the objections shall be served and filed within ten (10) days after service of the objections. The parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir.1991).
