relief. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1), (2); 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). Plaintiff’s complaint has not 

yet been screened, no defendants have been served or appeared, and thus no scheduling order has 

issued. Currently, there are no deadlines pending. As a result, Plaintiff’s request for a scheduling 

order will be denied. Plaintiff’s complaint will be screened in due course.

Dale A. Drozd and Magistrate Judge Barbara A. McAuliffe. The new case number is 1:16-cv00164-DAD-BAM (PC). All further filings should reflect this case number. That notice was 

served by mail on Plaintiff on February 17, 2016, and was not returned as undelivered or 

otherwise.

2016, regarding his transfer to his current housing at La Palma Correctional Center in Eloy, 

Arizona. The Court then received this second notice of Plaintiff’s change of address and motion 

for a scheduling order. No orders were issued between the February 17, 2016 notice and this 

current order. 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for a scheduling order 

(ECF No. 15) is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
