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

EDDIE BAKER, JR.,
ORDER

Plaintiff,
v.

11-cv-533-wmc

CAROL HOLINKA, P.D. SHANKS
and K.L. HIBBARD,
Defendants.

In response to this court’s July 29, 2011, order, plaintiff has submitted a certified copy
of his six-month inmate account statement so that I can determine whether he qualifies for
indigent status and, if he does, calculate an initial partial payment of the $350 fee for filing this
case. From the trust fund account statement plaintiff has submitted, I calculate his initial partial
payment to be $45.79. Plaintiff is reminded that paying the amount I have determined he is able
to prepay is just the first step in obtaining leave to proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. §
1915. After the court receives plaintiff’s payment, his complaint will be taken under advisement
for a determination under § 1915(e)(2) whether the action or any portion of it must be dismissed
as frivolous or malicious, for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted or because
plaintiff seeks monetary relief against a defendant who is immune from such relief. Plaintiff
should show a copy of this order to prison officials to insure that they know that they should
send plaintiff’s initial partial payment to this court.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Eddie Baker, Jr. is assessed $45.79 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 $45.79 on or before August 29, 2011. If, by
August 29, 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to do so, he will be held to have withdrawn this action voluntarily.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.

Entered this 8 th day of August, 2011.
