UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BERNARD CLARK,

Plaintiff,

v.

CAPITAL INCOME AND GROWTH 

FUND, LLC, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-01479-SMS

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION 

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. 2) 

By motion filed on May 29, 2015, Plaintiff Bernard Clark seeks to proceed in forma 

pauperis. Plaintiff has submitted a declaration that makes the showing required by 28 U.S.C. § 

1915(a). Accordingly, the court GRANTS Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. 

Plaintiff is advised that under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), the court must conduct an initial

review of all pro se complaints to determine whether it sets forth a sufficient claim(s). The court 

must dismiss a complaint or portion thereof if the court determines that the action is legally: “(i) 

frivolous or malicious; (ii) fails to state a claim on which relief may be granted; or (iii) seeks 

monetary relief against 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 can be cured by amendment. Plaintiff is advised that his complaint will 

be screened in due course. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
