UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

1 The Court notes that, because Plaintiff proceeds in forma pauperis, Plaintiff’s complaint is subject to 

screening before the Court authorizes the Clerk of the Court to issue summons. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915; see also 

O’Neal v. Price, 531 F.3d 1146, 1151 (9th Cir. 2008) (“After a prisoner applies for in forma pauperis status and 

lodges a complaint with the district court, the district court screens the complaint and determines whether it 

contains cognizable claims. If not, the district court must dismiss the complaint.”); Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 

1122, 1129 (9th Cir. 2000) (noting that “section 1915(e) applies to all in forma pauperis complaints, not just 

those filed by prisoners”); Preciado v. Salas, No. 1:13-cv-0390-LJO-BAM, 2014 WL 127710, at *1 (E.D. Cal. 

Jan. 14, 2014) (“The Court is required to screen complaints brought by plaintiffs proceeding pro se and in 

forma pauperis.”). Accordingly, the Court will screen Plaintiff’s complaint in due course.
