IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
PRINCE D. KEY,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 17-cv-395-jdp
MEREDITH MASHAK,
KEISHA PERRENOUD, DR. SALAM
SYED, DR. ELLEN O’BRIAN,
MICHAEL DITTMAN, KERI LLOYD
and JOHN/JANE DOES – A and B,
Defendants.

Plaintiff Prince D. Key a prisoner at the Wisconsin Secure Program Facility in Boscobel,
Wisconsin, filed this case originally in the Circuit Court for Dane County, Wisconsin. On
May 26, 2017, defendants removed the action to this court and paid the $400 filing fee.
However, because plaintiff is a prisoner, plaintiff is subject to the 1996 Prison 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 Prince D. Key’s complaint is taken under
advisement for screening pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Plaintiff will be notified promptly
when a screening 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 30th day of May, 2017.
BY THE COURT:
