PAUL COPENHAVER,
Respondent.

Petitioner is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se in a habeas corpus action pursuant to 28

17

18 U.S.C. § 2241.
19

On October 2, 2014, Petitioner filed a motion to expedite proceedings in the pending

20 petition for writ of habeas corpus. As Petitioner correctly states, the instant action is pending
21 before this Court. However, the Court does not have an expedited calendar. Petitioner is
22 advised that the Court acts to resolve all pending cases in the most efficient manner possible.
23 The Court is aware of Petitioner’s pending petition. Nevertheless, the Court’s docket of pending
24 cases is substantial, and the Court must act first on those matters that have been pending the
25 longest.
