UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KORY T. O’BRIEN,

 Plaintiff,

 vs.

GIBSON, et al.,

 Defendants.

1:21-cv-01574-GSA-PC

 

ORDER DENYING REQUEST TO 

EXPEDITE CASE

(ECF No. 7.)

Kory T. O’Brien (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

with this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed the Complaint 

commencing this action on October 25, 2021. (ECF No. 1.) The Complaint awaits the court’s 

requisite screening pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915.

On February 28, 2022, Plaintiff filed a request for screening of his Complaint. (ECF No. 

7.) Plaintiff informs the court that he has not received a screening order from the court.1

Plaintiff is advised that the court ordinarily screens complaints in the order in which they 

are filed at the court and strives to avoid delays whenever possible. However, there are hundreds 

of prisoner civil rights cases presently pending before the court, and as such delays are inevitable 

despite the court’s best efforts. Plaintiff’s Complaint will be screened in due course. 

1 Plaintiff has also filed a motion for preliminary injunctive relief, which shall be addressed by 

separate order. (See ECF No. 7.)
