Connors, James v. Rathermel, Chris et al

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
JAMES CONNORS,
Plaintiff,
v.
CHRIS RATHERMEL, et al.
Defendants.
ORDER
Case No. 26-cv-193-jdp
Plaintiff James Connors 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.
IT IS ORDERED that:
1. 	Plaintiff James Connors’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 10th day of March, 2026.
