UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 12-C-221

2008 HAULMARK MOTORHOME
VIN #1FVHCRCK78DZ44088, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER DENYING MOTION TO PROCEED WITHOUT
PREPAYMENT OF FEES OR COSTS

Claimant in the above matter seeks to appeal the Court’s order denying his motion to
dismiss the action on grounds of res judicata or claim preclusion and also the decision to stay the
matter to allow an underlying criminal case to proceed. In his affidavit in support of his petition
to proceed in forma pauperis, claimant indicates that he does have cash or checking, savings and
other similar accounts. He does not state the total amount of such sums, instead leaving blank the
place where the answer is to be inserted. Absent information as to the amount, if any, of the cash
claimant holds, or the amounts in his various accounts, the Court is unable to determine whether
he is truly indigent or not. Under these circumstances, the motion to proceed in forma pauperis
is denied, but without prejudice. If claimant wishes the Court to reconsider, he should file an
amended affidavit of indigency that fully answers the questions necessary for the Court’s
determination.
SO ORDERED this

16th

day of October, 2012.
