have appeared. The Court screened Plaintiff’s original Complaint and dismissed it with
21
leave to amend, for failure to state a claim. (ECF No. 13.) Plaintiff has since filed a First

Motion requesting information about Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status, filed

of the documents filed in this action is GRANTED.

11

In this same motion, Plaintiff provides quotes from various laws and regulations,

12

informs the Court about prison mail issues, and registers complaints related to these

13

issues. To the extent Plaintiff’s motion is intended to request any additional relief, the

prejudice in that respect..

17

the sum of one hundred fifty-two dollars ($152.00), the Court’s scheduled copying charge
