22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28
