Plaintiff Michael Hudson is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this

16

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action was filed on September 15, 2011, and

17

is currently pending screening. On November 19, 2012, Plaintiff filed a motion for status of the

18

case. (ECF No. 9.)

19

The Court is required to screen complaints brought by prisoners seeking relief against a

20

governmental entity or officer or employee of a governmental entity. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). The

21

Court screens complaints in the order in which they are filed and strives to avoid delays whenever

22

possible. However, there are hundreds of prisoner civil rights cases presently pending before the

23

Court, and delays are inevitable despite the Court’s best efforts. Plaintiff’s case will be screened in

24

due course.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
