IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

BRUD ROSSMAN ,

Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.

Case No. 17-cv-911-wmc

ELAINE DUKE, et al.

Defendants.
Plaintiff Brud Rossman 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 Brud Rossman’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 5th day of December, 2017.
BY THE COURT:

PETER OPPENEER
Magistrate Judge
