DECISION AND ORDER

The plaintiff, an inmate at the Milwaukee County Jail, filed a pro se complaint
under the False Claims Act on August 12, 2014. The Court sent the plaintiff a letter the same
day because he had not paid the filing fee or filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis. On September 2, 2014, the plaintiff filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis, but he did not file a certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the six
months preceding the filing of his complaint. The trust account statement is required under
28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2) and is necessary for the Court to calculate the plaintiff’s initial partial
filing fee. The Court advised the plaintiff in the August 12, 2014, letter that he needed to

submit a trust account statement along with his motion for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the plaintiff shall file a certified copy
of his prison trust account statement for the six motions prior to the filing of his complaint
on or before Friday, November 7, 2014. Failure to submit the trust account statement may
result in the denial of the plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that copies of this order shall be mailed to the
Milwaukee County Sheriff and to Maricela Castillo and Mary Wenten at the Milwaukee
County House of Corrections.
Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 16th day of October, 2014.
SO ORDERED,

HON. RUDOLPH T. RANDA
U. S. District Judge
