IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
RASHAAD A. IMANI,
Petitioner,
v.
WILLIAM POLLARD, Warden,
Waupun Correctional Institution,

ORDER
11-cv-677-wmc
App. No. 14-3407

Respondent.

On November 3, 2014, the court directed petitioner Rashaad A. Imani to pay
$89.80 as an initial partial payment of the $505 fee for filing his appeal. Now, Imani has
filed a motion for reconsideration of that order. (Dkt. # 39)
In Imani’s motion, he requests that the court issue an order directing the business
office at his institution to allow him to use his release account funds to pay his initial
partial appeal payment. Imani’s motion will be granted. Further, Imani will be provided
with an enlargement of time to submit his initial partial appeal payment to the court.
If Imani does not have the money to make the initial partial appeal payment in his
regular account, prison authorities may pay some or all of the assessment from his release
account. The only amount Imani must pay at this time is the $89.80 initial partial
appeal payment. Before prison officials take any portion of that amount from Imani‘s
release account, they may first take from Imani 's regular account whatever amount up to
the full amount Imani owes. Imani should show a copy of this order to prison officials to
make sure they are aware they should send Imani's initial partial appeal payment to this
court.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that:
1. Petitioner Rashaad A. Imani’s motion for reconsideration (Dkt. # 39) is
GRANTED. The business office at Waupun Correctional Institution is
directed to use Imani’s release account funds to pay his initial partial
appeal fee if sufficient funds do not exist in his regular account.
2. Imani may have an enlargement of time, to December 5, 2014, in which
to submit a check or money order made payable to the Clerk of Court in
the amount of $89.80, as an initial partial payment of the docketing fee
for his appeal.
3. Imani is advised that if he fails to make his initial partial fee payment as
directed by December 5, 2014, the clerk’s office will notify the court of
appeals so that it may take whatever action it deems appropriate with
respect to this appeal.
Entered this 14th day of November, 2014.
