IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

DEMETRIUS BLANKENSHIP,

v.

ORDER

Plaintiff,

Case No. 17-cv-847-jdp

AMERICAN PHOENIX,

Defendant.
Plaintiff Demetrius Blankenship 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 Demetrius Blankenship’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 8th day of November, 2017.
BY THE COURT:
