UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD CARRASCO,

Plaintiff,

v.

JOHNNY CABAHE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:19-cv-00724-NONE-JDP

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

REQUEST FOR A SUMMONS

ECF No. 16

Plaintiff’s request that we issue a summons, ECF No. 16, is denied. Before the court 

issues a summons, we must rescreen plaintiff’s first amended complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 

1915A(a). While the court will make its best efforts to do so quickly, limited judicial resources 

mean that some delay is inevitable. See ECF No. 15 at 2 (“[T]he shortfall in judicial resources 

will seriously hinder the administration of justice throughout this district, but the impact will be 

particularly acute in Fresno.”).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 20, 2020 

UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

No. 205.
