Plaintiff Edward Hernandez filed a complaint on February 14, 2017 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.
As to the status of his 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 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
