IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
MICHELLE A. FOX,
Plaintiff,
ORDER
v.
Case No. 14-cv-541-jdp
DANE COUNTY, SHERIFF,
ADMINISTRATOR, JAIL DOCTOR, JAIL
NURSES, JAIL MEDICAL STAFF AND
JAIL STAFF,
Defendants.
Plaintiff Michelle A. Fox, a prisoner in the custody of the Wisconsin Department of
Corrections, has filed a proposed civil complaint. Plaintiff requests leave to proceed without
prepayment of the filing fee.
Because plaintiff is a prisoner, she is subject to the 1996
Prisoner Litigation Reform Act. This means that before this court may decide whether she
can proceed in forma paupers, she will have to make an initial partial payment of the filing fee
for this case. Plaintiff’s initial partial payment cannot be calculated at this time because she
has not submitted a certified copy of her inmate trust fund account statement (or
institutional equivalent) for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of the
complaint. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2).
For this case to proceed, plaintiff must submit the certified trust fund account
statement no later than August 29, 2104. 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 Michelle A. Fox may have until August 29, 2014 to
submit a trust fund account statement for the period beginning approximately January 17,
2014 and ending approximately July 17, 2014. If, by August 29, 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 August, 2014.
