IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
RODERICK D. DOUGLAS,
Plaintiff,

ORDER
13-cv-301-wmc

v.

EDWARD WALL, et al.,

Defendants.

State inmate Roderick D. Douglas filed a proposed civil action pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983, concerning the conditions of his confinement. On June 27, 2013, the court ordered

Douglas to make an initial partial payment of $1.60 toward the filing fee in compliance with
the federal in Jonna pauperis statute and the Prison Litigation Reform Act ("PLRA"), 28 U.S.C.
§ l 915(b)( 1).

To date, Douglas has failed to comply as directed. Accordingly, under the

inherent power necessarily vested in a court to manage its own docket, the complaint will be
dismissed without prejudice for want of prosecution.
