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

LAMONT WALKER,
Plaintiff,

ORDER
13-cv-342-bbc

v.
CHAD KELLER, JANEL NICKELS,
D. MORGAN, SARAH MASON,
TIMOTHY HAINES, BRIAN KOOL,
CHRISTINE BROADBENT,
CHRISTINE BEERKIRCHER and
MELONEE HARPER,
Defendants.

Plaintiff Lamont Walker, a prisoner at Wisconsin Secure Program Facility in Boscobel,
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 May 15, 2013. His trust fund account statement
should cover the six-month period beginning approximately November 15, 2012 and ending
approximately May 15, 2013. Once plaintiff has submitted the necessary 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 Lamont Walker may have until June 10, 2013, in which
to submit a certified copy of his trust fund account statement for the period beginning
approximately November 15, 2012 and ending approximately May 15, 2013. If by June 10,
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 20th day of May, 2013.
