DEREK TATE, Plaintiff, v. DIANA NAKASHYAN, et al., Defendants.
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SCREENING AS MOOT
(Doc. 12)
SHEILA K. OBERTO UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff Derek Tate is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On May 26, 2022, this Court issued its Order Regarding Plaintiff's Motion for Screening. (Doc. 11.) Plaintiff was advised a motion or request for screening was not necessary as screening of Plaintiff's complaint is mandatory and will occur in due course. (Id. at 1-2.)
On May 31, 2022, Plaintiff filed a second request or motion for screening. (Doc. 12.) The second request is essentially identical to the first, apart from a change to the case number and the date the document was signed. (Cf. Doc. 10 (5/19/22) to Doc. 12 (5/26/22).) Plaintiff's most recent request is duplicative of his first; this Court's May 26, 2022, Order resolved the issue, rendering Plaintiff's second request or motion moot.
This action was originally filed in the Sacramento Division of this Court. On May 24, 2022, the case was transferred from Sacramento to Fresno. (See Doc. 6.)
For the reasons set forth above, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's request for screening filed May 31, 2022 (Doc. 12) is DENIED as MOOT.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
