Plaintiff Edward Thomas (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma
pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

On July 15 and October 26, 2016, Plaintiff filed motions for a preliminary injunction, and
23
on October 26, 2016, also filed a motion for an order to show cause why a permanent injunction
24
and restraining order should not be issued. (ECF Nos. 7, 13, 14).
25
On October 24, 2016, the Court screened Plaintiff’s first amended complaint, and
26
dismissed it with leave to amend. (ECF No. 12). On November 4 and November 18, 2016,
27
Plaintiff filed consecutive motions for reconsideration by the District Judge of the screening order
28
1
1
dismissing his complaint with leave to amend. (ECF Nos. 16, 17.) Thereafter, on January 3,

2017, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting priority screening and processing of his first amended
3
complaint, priority processing of his motion for reconsideration and his motion for
4
preliminary/permanent injunction and restraining order.1 (ECF No. 18).
5
On March 6, 2017, the District Court denied Plaintiff’s motions for reconsideration and
6
directed Plaintiff to file a second amended complaint. (ECF No. 22). On the same date, the court
7
also denied Plaintiff’s motions for emergency preliminary injunction and motion for an order to
8
show cause. (ECF No. 23). Based on these orders, Plaintiff’s request for priority processing of
9
his first amended complaint, motion for reconsideration and motion for preliminary injunction is
10
now moot, and is HEREBY DENIED.
11
IT IS SO ORDERED.
