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

28

and delays are inevitable despite the court=s best efforts. Plaintiff’s Third Amended Complaint

will be screened in due course. Therefore, Plaintiff’s requests for expedited screening shall be

denied.
