CAPT. SCHULTZ,
Defendants.
Plaintiff Derek W illiams, a prisoner at the Green Bay Correctional Institution, in Green
Bay, W isconsin, has submitted a proposed complaint. 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. From the trust
fund account statement plaintiff has submitted, I calculate his initial partial payment to be
$7.68. Also, he must pay the remainder of the fee in monthly installments even if his request
for leave to proceed is denied. If plaintiff does not have the money to make the initial partial
payment in his regular account, he will have to arrange with prison authorities to pay some or
all of the assessment from his release account. This does not mean that plaintiff is free to ask
prison authorities to pay all of his filing fee from his release account. The only amount plaintiff
must pay at this time is the $7.68 initial partial payment. Before prison officials take any
portion of that amount from plaintiff’s release account, they may first take from plaintiff’s
regular account whatever amount up to the full amount plaintiff owes. Plaintiff should show a
copy of this order to prison officials to insure that they are aware they should send plaintiff’s
initial partial payment to this court.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff is assessed $7.68 as an initial partial payment of the $350
fee for filing this case. He is to submit a check or money order made payable to the clerk of court
in the amount of $7.68 on or before July 1, 2011. If, by July 1, 2011, plaintiff fails to make the
initial partial payment or show cause for his failure to do so, he will be held to have withdrawn
this action voluntarily. In that event, the clerk of court is directed to close this file without
prejudice to plaintiff's filing his case at a later date.
