IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
SABIR WILCHER,
Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER
12-cv-803-bbc
RICK RAEMISCH, WILLIAM POLLARD,
C.O. ROMENESKO, WILLIAM SWIEKATOWSKI,
ROBIN LINDMEIER, CHRISTOPHER STEVENS,
and PETER ERICKSEN,
Defendants.
Plaintiff Sabir Wilcher, a prisoner at the Wisconsin Secure Program Facility in Boscobel,
Wisconsin has submitted a proposed complaint under 42 U.S.C. 1983. 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 $1.89. 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 $1.89 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 Sabir Wilcher is assessed $1.89 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 $1.89 on or before November 29, 2012. If, by
November 29, 2012, 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failure to do so, he will be held to have withdrawn this action voluntarily.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 6th day of November, 2012.
