IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
BROCK B. BARRETT and
SUZANNE A. (HOGAN) KENT-BARRETT,
ORDER
Plaintiffs,
v.

Case No. 17-cv-610-jdp

JOE ITSTEIN, KRIS KEIEL and
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Defendants.
Plaintiffs Brock B. Barrett and Suzanne A. (Hogan) Kent-Barrett have filed a proposed
civil complaint. Plaintiffs seek to commence this lawsuit without prepayment of the filing fee
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915.
From the affidavits of indigency plaintiffs have submitted, I find that plaintiffs are
unable to prepay the fees and costs of commencing this action or to give security therefor.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that:
1.

Plaintiffs Brock B. Barrett and Suzanne A. (Hogan) Kent-Barrett’s petitions for

leave to proceed without prepayment of fees are 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 15th day of August, 2017.
