(ECF No. 2)

Plaintiff Rodney Bradley (“Plaintiff”) filed a complaint on April 6, 2015 and an 

application to proceed in forma pauperis on that same day. (ECF Nos. 1, 2). Plaintiff has made 

the required showing pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Accordingly, the request to proceed in 

forma pauperis is GRANTED. 

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), the Court conducts an initial review of all pro se

complaints for legal sufficiency. The Court must dismiss a complaint or portion thereof if it 

determines that the action is legally “frivolous or malicious,” fails to state a claim upon which 

relief may be granted, or seeks monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief. 

28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). If the Court determines that the complaint fails to state a claim, leave to 

amend may be granted to the extent that the deficiencies of the complaint may be cured by
