Hazuga, Jeffrey v. Padden, Michael et al

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
JEFFREY JEROME HAZUGA,
Plaintiff,
v.
MICHAEL B. PADDEN, et al.
Defendants.
ORDER
Case No. 26-cv-1022-wmc
Plaintiff Jeffrey Jerome Hazuga 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 Jeffrey Jerome Hazuga’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 14th day of October 2026.
