IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
DEKATOR MATTHEW THORPE ,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 15-cv-251-wmc
MICHAEL MORELL and DALE J. SCHMIDT,
Defendants.

Plaintiff Dekator Matthew Thorpe has filed a proposed civil complaint. Plaintiff has
asked for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and has supported his request with an affidavit of
indigency.
From the affidavit of indigency plaintiff has submitted, I find that plaintiff is unable
to prepay the fees and costs of commencing this action or to give security therefor.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Dekator Matthew Thorpe’s petition for
leave to proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED. No further action will be taken in this case
until the court has screened the complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 to determine
whether the case must be dismissed because the complaint is frivolous or malicious, fails to
state a claim on which relief may be granted or seeks monetary relief against a defendant who
is immune from such relief. Once the screening process is complete, a separate order will
issue.
Entered this 29th day of April, 2015.
BY THE COURT:
