ORDER on ifp request: Trust Fund Account Statement due 3/26/2015. Signed by Magistrate Judge Peter A. Oppeneer on 3/06/2015. (nln),(ps)
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
RONALD F. PERRAULT,
Plaintiff,
ORDER
v.
Case No. 15-cv-144-bbc
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS
STATE OF WISCONSIN, ET AL.,
Defendants.
Plaintiff Ronald F. Perrault, an inmate at Waukesha County Jail, has filed a proposed
civil complaint.
Plaintiff requests leave to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee.
Plaintiff is an inmate and, therefore, subject to the 1996 Prisoner Litigation Reform Act.
This means that before this court may decide whether plaintiff can proceed without
prepayment of the filing fee, plaintiff will have to make an initial partial payment of the filing
fee for this case.
The initial partial payment cannot be calculated at this time because
plaintiff has not submitted a certified copy of plaintiff’s 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 March 26, 2015. 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 Ronald F. Perrault may have until March 26, 2015 to
submit a trust fund account statement for the period beginning approximately September 2,
2014 and ending approximately March 2, 2015. If, by March 26, 2015, 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 6th day of March, 2015.
