on
February 26, 2013. Plaintiff filed the instant motion on May 15, 2013. 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). The court issued an order on plaintiff’s
motion/application to proceed in forma pauperis (#1) and screened plaintiff’s complaint (#1-1) on
September 16, 2013. (#21). Plaintiff’s instant Motion (#18) was prematurely filed as it was filed prior
to September 16, 2013.
