Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE
REQUEST FOR RULING BY DISTRICT
JUDGE ON ORDER
D. DAVEY, et al.,
Defendants.
(Doc. No. 72)

Plaintiff John E. Mitchell is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action
18
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On April 2, 2018, defendant Thompson filed a “request for ruling
19
by district judge on order (ECF Nos. 16, 26).” (Doc. No. 72.) Defendant Thompson requests
20
that, in light of Williams v. King, 875 F.3d 500 (9th Cir. 2017), the undersigned review the
21
magistrate judge’s screening order de novo, and issue a ruling. (Id. at 2.)
22
Defendant’s request will be denied. Following the order of the Ninth Circuit holding
23
plaintiff’s appeal in abeyance, plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status was revoked by this court.
24
(Doc. Nos. 58, 71.) If plaintiff fails to pay the required filing fee, this entire action will be
25
dismissed. (See Doc. No. 71 at 6). Under those circumstances, there would be no need for this
26
court to review the magistrate judge’s earlier screening order. However, if plaintiff chooses to
27
resume his appeal and this court’s decision is reversed, or if plaintiff pays the required filing fee,
28
the court will address the Williams issue.

1
Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the defendant Thompson’s request for ruling by district
2
judge on order (Doc. No. 72) is DENIED without prejudice.
3
IT IS SO ORDERED.
