UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Gary Francis Fisher (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated this action on June 

20, 2013, in the Northern District of California. On June 2, 2014, the Court reopened the action and 

directed Plaintiff to file a complaint. (ECF No. 16.) Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on June 10, 

2014. (ECF No. 18.) On the same date, the matter was transferred to this Court. (ECF No. 19.)

On December 15, 2014, Plaintiff filed a request to proceed in forma pauperis and motion for 

summary judgment as a matter of law. (ECF No. 36.)

With regard to Plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma pauperis, this request is unnecessary. On 

June 2, 2014, Plaintiff was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis in this action. (ECF No. 17.) 

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s pending request to proceed in forma pauperis is HEREBY DISREGARDED. 

With regard to Plaintiff’s request for summary judgment as a matter of law, this request is 

premature. On March 4, 2015, the Court screened Plaintiff’s amended complaint pursuant to 28

U.S.C. §1915A, and dismissed it with leave to amend within thirty days. (ECF No. 41.) Currently, 

there is no operative complaint on file, no claims have been found cognizable, no defendants have 

been ordered served, and no defendants have appeared in this action. Therefore, Plaintiff’s motion for 

summary judgment is HEREBY DENIED as premature. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
