IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
EDDIE BAKER, JR.,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 14-cv-725-wmc
COLGATE-PALMOLIVE COMPANY,
Defendant.

Plaintiff Eddie Baker, Jr., a prisoner in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons,
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 November 17, 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 Eddie Baker, Jr. may have until November 17, 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 April 17, 2014 and ending
approximately October 17, 2014. If, by November 17, 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 28th day of October, 2014.
