TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER

(ECF No. 92)

Plaintiff Antonio Cortez Buckley is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action filed on April 26, 2004 pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff is proceeding on his First Amended Complaint claim that Defendants Dotson, Parangan, Jarralimillio, Peck, Lerman, and Ocegura violated his First Amendment right to free exercise of religion. (ECF Nos. 29, 48, 51.)

On July 11, 2012, Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. (ECF No. 78.) On August 30, 2012, Plaintiff filed a motion for extension of time ("EOT") (ECF No. 83) to file opposition to Defendants' motion for summary judgment. On September 4, 2012, Plaintiff filed opposition to the motion for summary judgment. (ECF Nos. 85- 89.) Accordingly, on September 4, 2012, the Court denied Plaintiff's motion for EOT as moot. (ECF No. 90.)

On September 4, 2012, Plaintiff also filed a motion for order to show cause and temporary restraining order ("TRO") (ECF No. 84) to require corrections staff to provide him access to the Salinas Valley State Prison (SVSP) law library to prepare his opposition to Defendant's motion for summary judgment. On September 7, 2012, the Court issued Findings and a Recommendation (ECF No. 92) that the TRO be denied.

On September 7, 2012, Plaintiff filed a request to withdraw (ECF No. 91) both his August 30, 2012 motion for EOT and his September 4, 2012 motion for TRO. The request to withdraw is now before the Court.

Accordingly, good cause having been presented to the Court and GOOD CAUSE APPEARING THEREFOR it is hereby ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff's motion to withdraw (ECF No. 91) is GRANTED as to the TRO (ECF No. 84), and DENIED as moot as to the EOT motion (ECF No. 83), and
2. The September 7, 2012 Findings and Recommendation Denying TRO (ECF No. 92) are VACATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
