ORDER
Plaintiff,
11-cv-749-bbc
v.
CYNTHIA M. THORPE, LORI ALSUM,
DR. DALIA D. SULIENE, STEVE HELGERSON,
DARCI BURRESON and JENNIFER NICKEL,
Defendants.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Plaintiff Anthony Porter, a prisoner at Waupun Correctional Institution in Waupun,
Wisconsin, 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 November 2, 2011.

His trust fund account

statement should cover the six-month period beginning approximately May 2, 2011 and
ending approximately November 2, 2011.

Once plaintiff has submitted the necessary

1

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.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Anthony Porter may have until November 28, 2011,
in which to submit a certified copy of his trust fund account statement for the period
beginning approximately May 2, 2011 and ending approximately November 2, 2011. If, by
November 28, 2011, plaintiff fails to respond to this order, I will assume that he wishes to
withdraw this action voluntarily. In that event, the clerk of court is directed to close this
case without prejudice to plaintiff's filing his case at a later date.

Entered this 4th day of November, 2011.
