"Screen"?

No, and you clearly do not understand Federal court procedure or rules. That is going to lead you into serious problems in court.

If you have an actual emergency that would justify obtaining an ExParte order of some kind, you can file that Petition and have a hearing on it.

If serious about pursuing this case, and assuming it has actual merit and value, you should hire counsel who knows how to handle it without it being damaged or even dismissed for failure to follow all the rules. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me.
