ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

TO COURT TO PROCESS AMENDED 

COMPLAINT AND DEMAND FOR TRIAL

(ECF No. 15)

Plaintiff Arthur Carr (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion to court to process amended 

complaint/demand for trial, filed September 15, 2016. (ECF No. 15.) Plaintiff seeks to have his 

action placed on the trial calendar, on the grounds that he timely submitted an amended 

complaint. 

Plaintiff’s request to set this matter for trial is premature. As the Court has previously 

informed Plaintiff in other orders, the Court is required to screen complaints brought by

prisoners seeking relief against a governmental entity or officer or employee of a governmental 

entity. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). Plaintiff’s amended complaint, or any portion thereof, is subject to 

dismissal if it is frivolous or malicious, if it fails to state a claim upon which relief may be 

granted, or if it seeks monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief. 28

hundreds of similar cases pending without the necessary resources to address cases as quickly as

desired. Plaintiff’s amended complaint will be screened in due course.

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion to court to process amended compliant/demand for trial, 

(ECF No. 15), is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
