MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

This matter is before the court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Proceed in
Forma Pauperis (filing no. 2) and Motion for Summons (filing no. 3). Upon review
of Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Proceed in Forma Pauperis, the court finds that
Plaintiff is financially eligible to proceed in forma pauperis. However, Plaintiff’s
Motion for Summons will be denied without prejudice to reassertion until after the
court conducts an initial review of the Complaint to determine whether summary
dismissal is appropriate under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e). IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED
that: Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Proceed in Forma Pauperis (filing no. 2) is
granted, and the Complaint shall be filed without payment of fees; and Plaintiff’s
Motion for Summons (filing no. 3) is denied without prejudice to reassertion.
DATED this 12th day of May, 2011.
BY THE COURT:
Richard G. Kopf
United States District Judge
