M R. CHARLES N. CLEVERT, JR.,
The Chief Judge of the USA Federal District Court
for Eastern W isconsin,
Defendant.

Plaintiff Mary Fertel-Rust has submitted three proposed complaints. Plaintiff has asked for
leave to proceed in forma pauperis and has supported her request with an affidavit of indigency. The
standard for determining whether plaintiff qualifies for indigent status is the following:

!

From plaintiff’s annual gross income, the court subtracts $3700 for each dependent
excluding the plaintiff.

!

If the balance is less than $16,000, the plaintiff may proceed without any
prepayment of fees and costs.

!

If the balance is greater than $16,000 but less than $32,000, the plaintiff must
prepay half the fees and costs.

!

If the balance is greater than $32,000, the plaintiff must prepay all fees and costs.

!

Substantial assets or debts require individual consideration.

In these cases, plaintiff’s monthly income is $1,110.00, which makes her annual income
$13,200. Because plaintiff’s income is less than $16,000, she can proceed without any prepayment
of fees or costs.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff’s complaints are taken under advisement. As
soon as the court’s calendar permits, plaintiff’s complaints will be screened pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1915 to determine whether the cases must be dismissed either because the complaints
are frivolous or malicious, fail to state a claim on which relief may be granted or seek monetary relief
against a defendant who is immune from such relief. Plaintiff will be notified promptly when such
a decision has been made. In the meantime, if plaintiff needs to communicate with the court about
these cases, she should be sure to write the case numbers shown above on her communication.

Entered this 17 th day of June, 2011.
BY THE COURT:
