UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Shannon Williams, a prisoner in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons 

(“BOP”) proceeding pro se filed the instant civil rights action pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown 

Federal Narcotics Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971) on June 2, 2016. 

On September 29, 2016, the Court screened Plaintiff’s complaint and directed that Plaintiff 

either file an amended complaint or notify the Court of intent to proceed only on the claim found to be 

cognizable. 

Plaintiff filed a first amended complaint on November 9, 2016. 

On February 27, 2017, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting the status of the case. As Plaintiff 

was advised in the First Informational Order, “[t]his Court screens pro se plaintiff’s complaints as 

expeditiously as possible. However, the Court has an extremely large number of pro se plaintiff civil 

rights cases pending before it, and delay is inevitable. As long as a party keeps the Court informed of 

SHANNON WILLIAMS,

 Plaintiff,

v.

ANTHONY VERNA, et al.,

Defendants.
