IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
RICHARD LEWIS,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
15-cv-51-jdp
App. No. 17-1285

MICHAEL STEPHENS,
Defendant.

Plaintiff Richard Lewis has filed a notice of appeal from the judgment that was
entered on February 7, 2017. Although plaintiff requests leave to proceed without payment
of the appellate filing fee, plaintiff neglected to include a certified trust fund account
statement (or institutional equivalent) as required by the federal in forma pauperis statute, 28
U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Accordingly, the court cannot consider plaintiff’s motion at this time.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Richard Lewis may have until March 6, 2017, to either
(1) pay the $505 appellate docketing fee; or (2) submit a certified trust fund account
statement for the six-month period preceding the filing of the appeal in compliance with 28
U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Failure to comply as directed may result in the dismissal of this appeal.
Entered this 10th day of February, 2017.

BY THE COURT:
