KEVIN WALKER JONES, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. RICHARD J. DONOVAN, CDCR; et al., Defendants-Appellees.


NOT FOR PUBLICATION

D.C. No. 3:17-cv-02454-BTM-BLM MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California
Barry Ted Moskowitz, District Judge, Presiding Before: CANBY, FRIEDLAND, and R. NELSON, Circuit Judges.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

California state prisoner Kevin Walker Jones appeals pro se from the district court's interlocutory order denying his motion for a permanent injunction in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). We review for an abuse of discretion. Cummings v. Connell, 316 F.3d 886, 897 (9th Cir. 2003). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Jones's motion for a permanent injunction because the district court lacked the authority to grant Jones's requested relief as it was related to non-parties. See Zepeda v. U.S. Immigration Serv., 753 F.2d 719, 727 (9th Cir. 1983) (explaining that the scope of an injunction is limited to the parties in the action).

We do not consider Jones's remaining contentions because they are outside the scope of this interlocutory appeal.

All pending motions and requests are denied.

AFFIRMED.
