district. McPherson also sued LeNatra Harris, an EEOC agent, alleging Har- ris failed to investigate her case. McPherson consented to the jurisdiction of a magistrate. The magistrate granted McPherson leave to proceed in forma pauperis and then dismissed her claims before service of process because McPherson “fail[ed] to state a claim on which relief may be granted” or her claims were “frivolous or malicious.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). McPherson fails to identify any reversible error.

AFFIRMED.
