Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights complaint on February 6, 2018,
16
along with an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (Docs. 1, 2.)
17
On February 8, 2018, the Court ordered Plaintiff to file an amended application to proceed in
18
forma pauperis that responded all questions contained on the application form. (Doc. 4.) Plaintiff
19
filed his amended application to proceed in forma pauperis on March 13, 2018. (Doc. 6.)

Plaintiff’s amended application demonstrates entitlement to proceed without prepayment of fees

22
As to the status of his complaint, Plaintiff is advised that pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

24
forma pauperis to determine whether it is legally sufficient under the applicable pleading
25
standards. The Court must dismiss a complaint, or portion thereof, if the Court determines that the
26
complaint is legally frivolous or malicious, fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted,
27
or seeks monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief. 28 U.S.C.
28

1 § 1915(e)(2). If the Court determines that the complaint fails to state a claim, leave to amend may
2 be granted to the extent that the deficiencies in the complaint can be cured by amendment.
3 Plaintiff’s Complaint will be screened in due course.
4

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