CEDRIC GREENE, Plaintiff, v. FERNANDO GONZALES, Defendant.
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORM PAUPERIS
(ECF No. 2)
Plaintiff Cedric Greene ("Plaintiff"), a former state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis on May 26, 2011. (ECF No. 2.) Plaintiff has submitted a declaration that makes the showing required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Notwithstanding this order, the Court does not direct that service be undertaken until the Court screens the complaint in due course and issues its screening order.
Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
