ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN 

FORMA PAUPERIS

ORDER

Plaintiff Kizito Okoroanyanwu, proceeding pro se, filed a complaint on April 23, 2020, along 

with an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (Docs. 1, 2.) As

Plaintiff has made the showing required by § 1915, the request to proceed in forma pauperis shall

be granted.

As to the status of the complaint, Plaintiff is advised that pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2),

the Court must conduct an initial review of every pro se complaint proceeding in forma pauperis

to determine whether it is legally sufficient under the applicable pleading standards. The Court 

must dismiss a complaint, or portion thereof, if the Court determines that the complaint 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 in the complaint can be cured by amendment. Plaintiff’s Complaint will be 

screened in due course.
