IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
ERIC RODRIGUEZ,
Plaintiff,
ORDER
v.
Case No. 14-cv-86-wmc
TIMOTHY HAINES, et al.
Defendants.
Plaintiff Eric Rodriguez, a prisoner incarcerated at the Waupun Correctional
Institution in Waupun, Wisconsin, has filed a proposed civil complaint, but has neither paid
the filing fee nor requested leave to proceed without prepayment. For this case to proceed,
plaintiff must pay the $400 filing fee or submit a properly supported motion for leave to
proceed without prepayment of the filing fee no later than April 2, 2014.
A motion for leave to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee must be
accompanied by a certified copy of plaintiff’s inmate trust fund account statement (or
institutional equivalent) for the six-month period immediately preceding the date of the
complaint. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). If I find that plaintiff is indigent, I will calculate an
initial partial payment amount that must be paid before the court can screen the merits of
the complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Thereafter, plaintiff will be required to pay the
balance of the filing fee in installments.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Eric Rodriguez may have until April 2, 2014 to submit
the $400 filing fee or a motion for leave to proceed without prepayment and a trust fund
account statement for the period beginning approximately August 20, 2013 and ending
approximately February 20, 2014. If, by April 2, 2014, plaintiff fails to respond to this order,
I will assume that plaintiff wishes to withdraw this action voluntarily. In that event, the case
will be closed without prejudice to plaintiff filing the case at a later date.
Entered this 11th day of March, 2014.
