ORDER on ifp request: Plaintiff to submit Trust Fund Account Statement. Trust Fund Account Statement due 6/23/2015. Signed by Magistrate Judge Peter A. Oppeneer on 6/3/2015. (jef),(ps)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
JEREMY CLARK,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 15-cv-333-bbc
J. WATERMANN, ET AL.,
Defendants.

Plaintiff Jeremy Clark, 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.

Plaintiff is a prisoner and, therefore, subject to the 1996

Prisoner Litigation Reform Act.

This means that before this court may decide whether

plaintiff can proceed with this case, plaintiff will have to make an initial partial payment of
the filing fee. 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 June 23, 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 Jeremy Clark may have until June 23, 2015 to submit
a trust fund account statement for the period beginning approximately November 28, 2014
and ending approximately May 28, 2015. If, by June 23, 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 3rd day of June, 2015.
