IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
ROOSEVELT WILLIAMS,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 14-cv-785-jdp
JOSEPH HARRIS,
Defendant.

Plaintiff Roosevelt Williams a prisoner in the custody of the Wisconsin Department
of Corrections at the Columbia Correctional Institution, filed this case in the Circuit Court
for Columbia County. On November 17, 2014 defendant Joseph Harris removed the action
to this court and paid the $400 filing fee. However, because plaintiff is a prisoner, he is
subject to the Prison Litigation Reform Act (“PLRA”), which requires the court to screen the
complaint to determine whether any portion is frivolous or malicious, fails to state a claim on
which relief may be granted or seeks monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from
such relief.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Roosevelt Williams’s complaint is taken
under advisement pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Plaintiff will be notified promptly when a
screening determination has been made. In the meantime, if plaintiff needs to communicate
with the court about this case, he should be sure to write the case number shown above on
any communication.
Entered this 1st day of December, 2014.
