IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
MICHELLE MARIE HUGHES,

Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.

Case No. 17-cv-90-wmc

THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES,

Defendants.
Plaintiff Michelle Marie Hughes has filed a proposed civil complaint.

Plaintiff seeks to

commence this lawsuit without prepayment of the filing fee 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 this action or to give security therefor.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that:
1.

Plaintiff Michelle Marie Hughes’s petition for leave to proceed without prepayment of

fees is GRANTED.
2.

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 7th day of February, 2017.
BY THE COURT:
