| 2022-02-07 | 9 | MOTION for Extension of Time to File Defendant's Answer or Other Response to Plaintiff's Complaint by FEDERAL BUREAU OF PRISONS. (Adebonojo, Kenneth) (Entered: 02/07/2022) |

| 2022-03-28 | 10 | MOTION for Preliminary Injunction by EDGAR VEYTIA. (zjf) (Entered: 03/29/2022) |
| 2022-03-30 | | MINUTE ORDER. Plaintiff's Application for Injunctive Relief 10 requests a preliminary injunction. He states that mail delivery is delayed by the Bureau of Prisons and asks for an order addressing the issue. The Court can certainly understand plaintiff's frustration and it recognizes that delays in the mail may delay his ability to prosecute this action. Therefore, plaintiff is assured that requests for extensions of time will be freely granted. But in order for the Court to grant a preliminary injunction, there must be some likelihood of success on the merits. See Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008) ("A plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction must establish that he is likely to succeed on the merits, that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, that the balance of equities tips in his favor, and that an injunction is in the public interest."). Here, there is no chance of success on the merits because there is no jurisdiction under the Freedom of Information Act to enter an injunction regarding internal prison processes. See Roman v. Nat'l Reconnaissance Off., 952 F. Supp. 2d 159, 163 (D.D.C. 2013), citing 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(B) ("The sole remedy available to a requester is... the court can compel an agency to produce documents or enjoin an agency from improperly withholding documents."). Moreover, "claims related to the handling of specific pieces of mail by prison officials or the application of the BOP's mail handling regulations... must be addressed initially by local prison authorities and, once exhausted, may only be pursued in the [judicial] district where the acts occurred." McCain v. Reno, 98 F. Supp. 2d 5, 6 (D.D.C. 2000); see 28 C.F.R. §§ 542.13-15; 28 U.S.C. § 1391. For those reasons the motion is DENIED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 3/30/2022. (lcabj1) (Entered: 03/30/2022) |
| 2022-03-30 | | MINUTE ORDER. On February 7, 2022, defendant moved for an extension of time in which to file a responsive pleading. The motion was granted, the pleading was due on March 8, and defendant has neither submitted the pleading nor moved for additional time. Therefore it is ORDERED that defendant respond to plaintiff's complaint by April 8, 2022. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 3/30/2022. (lcabj1) (Entered: 03/30/2022) |

| 2022-04-11 | | MINUTE ORDER. 11 Motion to Enlarge Time is GRANTED. Defendant must respond to plaintiff's complaint by May 10, 2022.
