Plaintiff,
v.
DR. PATRICK MURPHY,

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS,

App. No. 16-1889

Defendants.
On May 13, 2016, plaintiff Donald Charles Wilson submitted an unopposed motion
for an order requiring disbursement of $20.93 from plaintiff’s release account to make the
initial partial payment of the $505 appeal docketing fee. Plaintiff seeks an order requiring
disbursement of $20.93 from plaintiff’s release account because there are not sufficient funds
in his general trust account.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1), prison officials are required to use a prisoner’s
release account to satisfy an initial partial payment if no other funds are available. Carter v.
Bennett, 399 F. Supp. 2d 936, 936-37 (W.D. Wis. 2005).
