This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff Lee E. Szymborski’s (“plaintiff”) Amended

17

Application for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (doc. # 3), filed June 5, 2015.

18

1.

In Forma Pauperis Application

19

Plaintiff has submitted an amended affidavit showing an inability to prepay fees and costs or

20

give security for them. Accordingly, the request to proceed in form pauperis is granted pursuant to 28

21

U.S.C. § 1915(a). The Court now turns to plaintiff’s complaint.

22

2.

Screening the Complaint

23

Upon granting a request to proceed in forma pauperis, a court must screen a complaint pursuant

24

to § 1915(a). A review of plaintiff’s complaint, doc. # 1-1, reveals that plaintiff has failed to attach

25

exhibits cited to support his assertions in the complaint. As such, this Court directs plaintiff to file an

26

amended complaint, complete with exhibits, no later than Tuesday, June 23, 2015.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s Amended Application for Leave to
Proceed In Forma Pauperis (doc. # 3) is granted.
