He asserts jurisdiction for his claims is predicated upon provisions of federal trademark law under the Lanham Act at 15 U.S.C. Glick invokes the Court's federal subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. Glick complains that Townsend and Defendants have failed to credit him with creation of the book title, have expanded their use of the title beyond the permission Glick granted to Townsend and, therefore, have infringed upon his trademark ownership rights to the title he created. Townsend then made plans to create a movie adaptation of her novel, and to use the title "The Forlorned" in connection with her new book and movie.
Glick commenced this action alleging Defendants have infringed upon trademark rights he owns with respect to the book title "The Forlorned." In 2013, Defendant Angela Townsend asked Glick to assist her in various ways to re-write and re-brand a novel that Townsend had previously written entitled "Fears of a Fisherman." Glick created the title "The Forlorned" and granted Townsend permission to use that title in the recreation of her novel. The Court will proceed to review Glick's pleading to consider whether this action can survive dismissal under the provisions of section 1915(e)(2), or any other provision of law. (iii) seeks monetary relief against a defendant who is immune from such relief. (ii) fails to state a claim on which relief may be granted or (A) the allegation of poverty is untrue or (2) Notwithstanding any filing fee, or any portion thereof, that may have been paid, the court shall dismiss the case at any time if the court determines that. The applicable provisions of section 1915(e)(2) state as follows: § 1915 - also requires the Court to conduct a preliminary screening of the allegations set forth in the litigant's pleading. The federal statute under which leave to proceed in forma pauperis is permitted - 28 U.S.C. This action may proceed without prepayment of the filing fee, and the Clerk of Court is directed to file Glick's lodged Complaint as of the filing date of his request to proceed in forma pauperis.
Because it appears he lacks sufficient funds to prosecute this action IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Glick's motion is GRANTED. Glick submitted a declaration that makes the showing required by 28 U.S.C.
On March 4, 2015, Plaintiff Ron Glick, appearing pro se, lodged a civil complaint and filed a motion requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis. ORDER, and FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION I.
