PETER J. LONG,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 17-cv-295-wmc
MARIO L. STEGER, et al.,
Defendants.

Plaintiff Peter J. Long a prisoner in the custody of the Wisconsin Department of
Corrections, has submitted a proposed complaint and has paid the $400 filing fee. Because
plaintiff is a prisoner, plaintiff is subject to the Prisoner Litigation Reform Act, 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 Peter J. Long’s complaint is taken under
advisement pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Plaintiff will be notified promptly when such a
decision has been made. In the meantime, if plaintiff needs to communicate with the court
about this case, plaintiff should be sure to write the case number shown above on any
communication.

Entered this 21st day of April, 2017.
