IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE W ESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN

MAURICE A. JOHNSON,  
Plaintiff,  ORDER  
v.  13-cv-309-wmc  
DR. KAREN LARSON-SMITH, DR. FRODIN, DR. NICHOLAS BUHR, DR. HARRIS, DR. DAWN LAURENT, DR. HAHLIA SULIENE, and KAREN ANDERSON,  
Defendants.  

Plaintiff Maurice Johnson, a prisoner at the Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin has submitted a proposed complaint under 42 U.S.C. 1983. He asks for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Because plaintiff is a prisoner, he is subject to the 1996 Prisoner Litigation Reform Act.  This means that before this court may decide whether he can proceed with his complaint in forma pauperis, plaintiff will have to make an initial partial payment of the filing fee.  
In determining whether a prisoner litigant qualifies for indigent status this court applies the formula set forth in 28 U.S.C.
