IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
SAFRON HUOT,

v.

ORDER

Plaintiff,

Case No. 17-cv-540-wmc

MONTANA STATE DEPARTMENT OF
CHILD AND FAMILY SERVICES, et al.,

Defendants.
Plaintiff Safron Huot 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 plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis, dkt. 2, 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 Safron Huot’s motion for leave to proceed without prepayment of fees, dkt. 2,

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 14th day of July, 2017.
BY THE COURT:

PETER OPPENEER
Magistrate Judge
