Carrasco-Salazar, Roberto v. U.S. BOP Medical Staff et al

Filing 2

ORDER directing plaintiff to submit six-month trust fund account statement by 1/28/2013. Signed by Magistrate Judge Stephen L. Crocker on 1/4/2013. (elc),(ps)

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

ROBERTO CARRASCO-SALAZAR,
ORDER
Plaintiff,
13-cv-11-wmc
v.
U.S. BOP MEDICAL STAFF, MR. FAERDAY,
DR. REED, P.A. SPAHN, MR. LOPEZ,
DR. GUPTA and RITTER, P.A.,
Defendants.

Plaintiff Roberto Carrasco-Salazar, a prisoner at the Federal Correctional Institution in
Oxford, Wisconsin, has submitted a proposed complaint. Plaintiff has not paid the $350 filing
fee or submitted a certified copy of his six-month trust fund account statement. I can construe
his complaint to include a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Even so, because
plaintiff is a prisoner, he is required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b) and the 1996 Prison Litigation
Reform Act to pay an initial partial payment of the $350 filing fee. I cannot calculate plaintiff's
initial partial payment yet because he did not submit a trust fund account statement with his
complaint.
Plaintiff submitted his complaint on December 24, 2012. Now he must file a trust fund
account statement that covers the six-month period beginning approximately June 24, 2012 and
ending approximately December 24, 2012. Once plaintiff has submitted this account statement,
I will calculate his initial partial payment and tell him 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 make sure 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 Roberto Carrasco-Salazar may have until January 28,
2013, in which to submit a certified copy of his trust fund account statement for the period
beginning approximately June 24, 2012 and ending approximately December 24, 2012. If, by
January 28, 2013, 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 January, 2013.
