FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
DONALD A. NEWELL JR.,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTIONS, et al

Case No. 20-cv-711-bbc

Defendants.

Plaintiff Donald A. Newell Jr. a prisoner in the custody of the Department of
Corrections, has submitted a proposed complaint and has paid the $400 filing fee. 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 Donald A. Newell Jr.’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. In the meantime, if plaintiff needs to communicate with the
court about this case, plaintiff should be sure to write the case number shown above on any
communication.
