court will enter an order in your case. The order may grant, deny, or impose a partial filing fee.
The order may include additional instructions or request additional information.
If the court grants your application to proceed in forma pauperis, the court must screen
your complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) to identify cognizable claims and dismiss claims that
are frivolous, malicious, fail to state a claim on which relief may be granted, or seek monetary
relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief. Due to the court’s caseload, the screening
process may take many months.
