Hill, Tarus v. Breen et al

Doc. 3

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

TARUS CLYDE HILL, Plaintiff, v. DR. BREEN and WILLIAM POLLARD, Warden, Defendants. ORDER 11-cv-157-slc

Plaintiff Tarus Hill, a prisoner at Green Bay Correctional Institution in Green Bay, W isconsin, has submitted a proposed complaint. He requests leave to proceed in forma pauperis. A decision on the request will be delayed until plaintiff pays an initial partial payment of the $350 filing fee as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b) and the 1996 Prison Litigation Reform Act. Plaintiff's initial partial payment cannot be calculated at this time because he has not submitted a trust fund account statement with his complaint. Plaintiff's complaint was filed on February 18, 2011. His trust fund account statement should cover the six-month period beginning approximately August 18, 2010 and ending approximately February 18, 2011. Once plaintiff has submitted the necessary statement, I will calculate his initial partial payment and advise him of the amount he will have to pay before the court can screen the merits of his complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Plaintiff should show a copy of this order to prison officials to insure that they are aware they should send a copy of plaintiff's six-month trust fund account statement to this court.
