ORDER

THIS MATTER comes before the Court following receipt of Plaintiff’s EEOC Notice of
Charge. See (Doc. No. 7). Plaintiff Monique Brown, who is proceeding pro se, filed a
Complaint, (Doc. No. 1), and a Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis (“IFP Motion”), (Doc. No.
2), on June 2, 2016. In this action, Plaintiff alleges that on around July 27, 2014, her employer
discriminated against her and retaliated against her based on her age, in violation of the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq. On June 13, 2016, the
Court granted Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. The Court finds that Plaintiff’s
Complaint survives initial review in that it is not clearly frivolous, and the Court will therefore
order service on Defendant.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that:
1.

Plaintiff’s Complaint survives initial review under Section 1915(e).

2.

The U.S. Marshal is hereby directed to attempt to serve summons on Defendant at
the address provided on the summons form attached to Plaintiff’s Complaint.
