KEVIN MICHAEL KNOPE,

Plaintiff,
v.
STATE OF WISCONSIN, et al.

ORDER
Case No. 16-cv-381-wmc

Defendants.
Plaintiff Kevin Michael Knope has filed three proposed civil complaints. Plaintiff seeks to
commence these lawsuits without prepayment of the filing fees pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915.
From the affidavit of indigency plaintiff has submitted, I find that plaintiff is unable to
prepay the fees and costs of commencing these actions or to give security therefor.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that:
1.

Plaintiff Kevin Michael Knope’s petition for leave to proceed without prepayment of

fees is GRANTED.
2.

No further action will be taken in these cases until the court has screened the

complaints pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 to determine whether any of the cases 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 9th day of June, 2016.
