IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN

KENNETH J. MCFADDEN #182616, Petitioner, ORDER v. DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS LEGAL DEPT. and AGENT JENNIFER LAWRENCE, Respondents. 08-cv-239-slc

Petitioner Kenneth J. McFadden, a prisoner at the Dane County jail in Madison, Wisconsin, has submitted a proposed complaint. He requests leave to proceed in forma pauperis. A decision on the request will be delayed because although petitioner has sent a check in the amount of $50 he has not submitted a six-month trust fund account statement from which I can verify whether he qualifies for pauper status and if so, what amount he must pay as an initial partial payment of the $350 filing fee. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b). Petitioner's complaint was submitted on April 5, 2008. His trust fund account statement should cover the six-month period beginning approximately October 5, 2007 and ending approximately April 5, 2008. Once petitioner has submitted the necessary statement, I will determine what amount petitioner must pay, if any, in addition to the $50 payment he has submitted. If the amount petitioner owes is less than $50, his complaint will be taken under advisement so that the court can screen the merits of his complaint under § 1915(e)(2). If the amount is more than $50, petitioner will be required to make an additional payment to cover any amount he owes over $50 before the court can screen his complaint.
