UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LUKAS ELIJAH HENDERSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

NIKE HEADQUARTERS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:23-cv-01556-ADA-BAM

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S

APPLICATION TO PROCEED WITHOUT 

PREPAYMENT OF FEES OR COSTS

(Doc. 2)

Plaintiff Lukas Elijah Henderson (“Plaintiff”), proceeding pro se, filed this action on

November 3, 2023. (Doc. 1.) Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee in this action and instead filed an 

application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (Doc. 2.) Plaintiff has

made the showing required by section 1915(a), and accordingly, the request to proceed in forma 

pauperis will be granted. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

Plaintiff is advised that the Court is required to screen complaints of pro se litigants 

proceeding in forma pauperis pursuant to Title 28 of the United States Code section 1915(e)(2). 

The Court must dismiss a complaint or portion thereof if the action is legally “frivolous or 

malicious,” fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, or seeks monetary relief 

against a defendant who is immune from such relief. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). As a result, no 

summons will issue at this time. The Court will direct the United States Marshal to serve

Plaintiff’s complaint only after the Court has screened the complaint and determined that it

Plaintiff’s complaint in due course.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
