Before the court is the matter of Cox v. Randazza, et al. (Case No. 2:13-cv-00297-MMD-VCF).
Plaintiff filed her motion/application to proceed in forma pauperis (#1) and complaint (#1-1) on
February 26, 2013. Plaintiff filed eleven motions between March 26, 2013, and April 12, 2013. (#7– #17).
Upon granting a request to proceed in forma pauperis, a court must additionally screen a complaint pursuant to
28 U.S.C. §1915(e). Federal courts are given the authority to dismiss a case if the action 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). As the court has not issued an order on plaintiff’s
motion/application to proceed in forma pauperis (#1) and has not screened plaintiff’s complaint (#1-1),
plaintiff’s pending motions (#7– #17) are premature. The motions (# 7– #17) are denied without prejudice. If
appropriate, plaintiff may re-file the motions after the court issues an order on the motion/application to
proceed in forma pauperis (#1) and screens the complaint (#1-1).
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that plaintiff’s motions (#7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16
and #17) are denied without prejudice. If appropriate, plaintiff may re-file the motions after the court issues an
order on the motion/application to proceed in forma pauperis (#1) and screens the complaint (#1-1).
