Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding pro se pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and has requested

16

leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ' 1915. Plaintiff filed the Complaint

18

motion for screening of his Complaint. (ECF No. 12.)

The court ordinarily screens complaints in the order in which they are filed at the court

20

and strives to avoid delays whenever possible. However, there are numerous prisoner civil rights

21

cases presently pending before the court, and delays are inevitable despite the court’s best efforts.

22

Plaintiff’s Complaint will be screened in due course.

23

Based on the foregoing, Plaintiff’s motion, filed on May 17, 2018, is RESOLVED.
