v.
Case No. 20-cv-645-wmc
DR. COX, et al.,
Defendants.

Plaintiff Dion Mathews a prisoner in the custody of the Wisconsin Department of
Corrections, has paid the $400 fee for filing this case. Because plaintiff is a prisoner, plaintiff
is subject to the 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 Dion Mathews’s complaint is taken under
advisement pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Plaintiff will be notified promptly when such a
decision has been made.

Entered this 27th day of July, 2020.
