DASHAWN COMBS WILSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

MOLINA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:24-cv-00499-BAM (PC)
ORDER CONSTRUING PLAINTIFF’S
NOTICE OF CHANGE OF ADDRESS AS
MOTION TO CHECK CASE STATUS
(ECF No. 8)
ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR CASE
STATUS
(ECF No. 8)

17

Plaintiff Dashawn Combs Wilson (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in

18

forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The complaint has not yet

19

been screened.

20

Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion to Check Court Case # Status, filed

21

August 26, 2024 as a notice of change of address. (ECF No. 8.) Plaintiff requests an update on

22

all of his pending section 1983 cases, including the instant action. (Id.) The Court construes the

23

filing as a motion for case status. The motion is deemed submitted. Local Rule 230(l).

24

Plaintiff is advised that the Court does not routinely provide updates regarding the status

25

of cases, but will make a one-time exception. Plaintiff is informed that in the instant action, Case

26

No. 1:24-cv-00499, the complaint is pending screening before the Court. Plaintiff is reminded

27

that the Court screens complaints in the order in which they are filed and strives to avoid delays

28

whenever possible. However, there are hundreds of prisoner civil rights cases presently pending
1

1

before the Court, and delays are inevitable. Due to the heavy caseload, Plaintiff’s complaint is

2

still awaiting screening. The Court is aware of the pendency of this case and will screen

3

Plaintiff’s complaint in due course. At this time, Plaintiff does not need to take any action, unless

4

his mailing address changes again.

If Plaintiff wishes to inquire about the status of any other pending cases, he should submit
a request or motion in that specific case, using the correct case number.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:
1. Plaintiff’s notice of change of address, (ECF No. 8), is construed as a motion for case
status; and
2. Plaintiff’s motion for case status, (ECF No. 8), is GRANTED as discussed above.
