IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
MARYAM E. MUHAMMAD,
Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER
15-cv-41-wmc

BEVERLY LOUIS, et al.,
Defendants.

Plaintiff Maryam E. Muhammad, also known as Miriam E. Briggs-Muhammad,
has filed a proposed civil action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, against several employees of the
City of Madison Section 8 housing program. She requests leave to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee.

On December 18, 2013, the court dismissed a case filed

previously by the plaintiff. See Briggs-Muhammad v. SSM Healthcare Corp., Case No. 13cv-831-wmc. After finding that the complaint was legally frivolous and malicious, the
court ordered plaintiff to pay the full amount of the filing fee for indigent litigants
($350) and advised her that no further civil actions would be considered until she paid
the full amount. The Seventh Circuit also found plaintiff’s action and ensuing appeal
frivolous and affirmed the dismissal order. See Briggs-Muhammad v. SSM Healthcare Corp.,
No. 13-3909 (7th Cir. June 30, 2014).
To date, plaintiff has not paid the full amount of the filing fee in Case No. 13-cv831. Until she complies with the court order to do so, plaintiff’s motion for leave to
proceed will be denied and this case will be administratively closed.

ORDER
