Court finds Plaintiff has made the showing required by § 1915, and the request to proceed in forma 

pauperis shall be granted.

Regarding 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

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.

If appropriate after the case has been screened, the Clerk of Court will provide Plaintiff with 

the requisite forms and instructions to request the assistance of the United States Marshal in serving
