CRYSTAL COX, Plaintiff, v. MARC J. RANDAZZA, et al, Defendants.
COUNSEL FOR PLAINTIFF(S): None Appearing COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT(S): None Appearing
MINUTE ORDER
PRESENT: THE HONORABLE CAM FERENBACH , United States Magistrate Judge JUDICIAL ASSISTANT: Mai Tieu RECORDER: None COUNSEL FOR PLAINTIFF(S): None Appearing COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT(S): None Appearing
Before the court is the matter of Cox v. Randazza, et al. (Case No. 2:13-cv-00297-MMD-VCF).
Plaintiff filed her motion/application to proceed in forma pauperis (#1) and complaint (#1-1) on February 26, 2013. Plaintiff filed eleven motions between March 26, 2013, and April 12, 2013. (#7- #17). 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). As the court has not issued an order on plaintiff's motion/application to proceed in forma pauperis (#1) and has not screened plaintiff's complaint (#1-1), plaintiff's pending motions (#7- #17) are premature. The motions (# 7- #17) are denied without prejudice. If appropriate, plaintiff may re-file the motions after the court issues an order on the motion/application to proceed in forma pauperis (#1) and screens the complaint (#1-1).
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that plaintiff's motions (#7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16 and #17) are denied without prejudice. If appropriate, plaintiff may re-file the motions after the court issues an order on the motion/application to proceed in forma pauperis (#1) and screens the complaint (#1-1).
