ORDER
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42
15
U.S.C. § 1983. Currently pending is defendant McClelland’s motion to dismiss this action
16
against him. Dckt. No. 56. Because McClelland filed the motion to dismiss before the court
17
screened the amended complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, both plaintiff and defendants
18
Grannis, Mejia, Hirai, Angalea, Guitierrez and Monroe requested clarification from the court as
19
to whether the court would screen plaintiff’s amended complaint. Dckt. Nos. 57, 58.
20
As noted in the November 23, 2010 order, the court must screen plaintiff’s amended
21
complaint pursuant to § 1915A. McClelland’s motion to dismiss is therefore premature.
22
Accordingly, the motions for clarification are granted and McClelland’s motion to dismiss is
23
denied without prejudice. The Clerk is directed to terminate docket entries nos. 56, 57 & 58.

So ordered.
