UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN SCHEMA,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF 

AGRICULTURE, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:14-cv-0630 MCD CKD PS

ORDER

Plaintiff, proceeding in this action pro se, has requested leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 

302(21), pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).

Plaintiff has submitted an affidavit making the showing required by 28 U.S.C. § 

1915(a)(1). Accordingly, the request to proceed in forma pauperis will be granted. 

The determination that plaintiff may proceed in forma pauperis does not complete the 

required inquiry. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), the court is directed to dismiss the case at 

any time if it determines the allegation of poverty is untrue, or the action is frivolous or malicious, 

fails to state a claim on which relief may be granted, or seeks monetary relief against an immune 

defendant. The court cannot make this determination on the present record. Therefore, the court 

reserves decision on these issues until the record is sufficiently developed.
