ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S
REQUEST FOR STATUS AS MOOT
(ECF No. 11)

R. SAMUELS,
Defendant.
Plaintiff Jesse Washington (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

11
pauperis in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action was filed on
12
August 27, 2012. (ECF No. 1.) On August 28, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting a status
13

update. (ECF No. 11.) The Court notifies Plaintiff’s that his complaint is currently in the

14
screening stage. Future requests for status updates will be denied.
15
The Court is required to screen complaints brought by prisoners seeking relief against a
16
government entity or officer or employee of a government entity. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). This
17
Court and its staff takes its role serious in complying with statutes and other obligations under the
18

United States Constitution and laws of the United States. As Plaintiff’s case is not the only case

19
under consideration by the Court and because cases are screened in the order in which they are
20
filed, absent good cause, the Court will screen cases in that order and will continue strive to avoid
21
delays whenever possible. Accordingly,
22

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Court DENIES Plaintiff’s motion for a status update.

23
24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
