Plaintiff is advised that the Court is required to screen the complaints of pro se litigants pursuant to Title 28 of the United States Code section 1915A(a). The Court must dismiss a complaint or portion thereof if the litigant has raised claims that are legally “frivolous or malicious,” that fail to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, or that seek monetary relief from a defendant(s) who is immune from such relief. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1)&(2).

The Court has a large number of such cases pending before it and will screen Plaintiff’s complaint in due course. 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 IT IS SO ORDERED.
