18 Plaintiff is proceeding pro se with an action for damages
19 and other relief concerning alleged civil rights violations which
20 was transferred to this Court on May 30, 2006. The matter has
21 been referred to the Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
22 636(b) and Local Rules 72-302 and 72-304.
23 Plaintiff filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis.
24 The application has not been ruled on by the Court. Further, if
25 in forma pauperis status is granted, then before service will be
26 ordered, the complaint must be screened by the Court pursuant to
27 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Therefore, service at this time of the
28 summons issued on June 6, 2006, would be inappropriate.
