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.
In response to this court’s January 4, 2013, order, plaintiff has submitted a copy of his
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. In determining
whether a prisoner litigant qualifies for indigent status this court applies the formula set forth
in 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). According to this formula, a prisoner requesting leave to proceed in
forma pauperis must prepay 20% of the greater of the average monthly balance or the average
monthly deposits made to his prison account in the six-month period immediately preceding the
filing of the complaint.
From the trust fund account statement plaintiff has submitted, I calculate his initial
partial payment to be $8.82. Plaintiff is advised that he must pay the remainder of the fee in
monthly installments even if his request for leave to proceed is denied. He 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 Roberto Carrasco-Salazar is assessed $8.82 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 $8.82 on or before February 4, 2013. If,
by February 4, 2013, 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failure to do so, he will be held to have withdrawn this action voluntarily.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 11th day of January, 2013.
