v.
ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

THOMAS C. LEE, et al.,
Defendants.

Because defendant does not appear to have funds available to afford the $400.00 filing fee,

13

he financially qualifies for in forma pauperis (IFP) status. Therefore, defendant’s IFP application

14

(Dkt. 1) is GRANTED. However, the undersigned recommends review under 28 U.S.C. §

15

1915(e)(2)(B). In particular, it should be noted this is defendant’s fourth attempt to remove this

16

matter from state court and that, in each prior instance, the Court found no basis for the exercise

17

of federal jurisdiction and remanded the case. See Case No. C17-0535-RSM (Dkt. 14); Case No.

18

C17-1376-RSL (Dkt. 13); Case No. C18-0212-JCC (Dkt. 8). The Clerk of the Court is directed to

19

send a copy of this Order to defendant and to the assigned District Judge.

DATED this 21st day of March, 2018.
