UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CANDACE SMITH,

Plaintiff,

v.

GEORGE BROWN FITTNESS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:24-cv-01561-SAB

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(ECF No. 2)

Candace Smith (“Plaintiff”) filed a complaint on December 18, 2024, along with an 

application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff’s application 

demonstrates entitlement to proceed without prepayment of fees. Notwithstanding this order, the 

Court does not direct that service be undertaken until the Court screens the complaint and issues 

its screening order.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

1. Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2) is GRANTED; 

and

2. Service shall not be undertaken until the Court screens the complaint in due 

course and issues its screening order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 20, 2024
