Case No. 1:10-cv-01089 LJO JLT (PC)
ORDER DENYING REQUEST
EXPEDITED SCREENING AS MOOT

FOR

(Doc. 9)

16
17

On September 6, 2011, Plaintiff filed a motion for expedited screening of his complaint. (Doc.

18

9) In it, Plaintiff “reminded” the Court of the amount of time that had passed since he filed the action.

19

Id.

20

Plaintiff is assured the Court is well-aware of his complaint and, in fact, screened it in due course

21

on October 20, 2011. (Doc. 10) However, Plaintiff is advised that this Court is one of the busiest in the

22

entire nation and that it carries more prisoner cases that any other court. Forcing the Court to consider

23

his current request and those like them, merely delay the Court from deciding cases, like his and those

24

brought by other inmates. In any event, because Plaintiff’s complaint has been screened, the motion to

25

expedite screening is DENIED AS MOOT.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
