IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHNATHAN WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-1335 LKK KJM P

vs.

D.L. RUNNELS,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding pro se. Plaintiff asks that this action be

consolidated with CIV-S-05-0982 FCD KJM P. It appears that case was opened in error. On

May 11, 2005, the court granted plaintiff leave to file a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. Plaintiff

filed the complaint, but, instead of filing the complaint in this action, the Clerk of the Court

opened a new action. The court will not consolidate cases, however, the court will order that the

complaint filed in CIV-S-05-0982 FCD KJM P be removed from that case and filed in this

action. After this occurs, the court will rule on plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma pauperis

and screen plaintiff’s complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a).
