FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
ROBERT LEE HAMILTON,
Petitioner,

ORDER

v.
15-cv-510-bbc
Appeal No. 16-3470
DON STRAHOTA, Warden,
Respondent.

On January 13, 2017, this court entered an order directing petitioner Robert Lee
Hamilton to submit by February 17, 2017 an initial partial payment of the appeal filing fee in
the amount of $10.85. Now petitioner has filed a motion to use release account funds to pay
the initial partial appeal fee for filing his appeal. Petitioner’s motion will be granted.
The only amount petitioner must pay at this time is the $10.85 initial partial appeal
payment. Before officials take any portion of that amount from petitioner's release account, they
may first take from petitioner’s regular account whatever amount up to the full amount
petitioner owes.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that,
1.

Petitioner Robert Lee Hamilton’s motion for use of release account funds to pay

the initial partial appeal fee in this case, dkt. 61, is GRANTED.
2.

Petitioner may have until February 17, 2017, to submit a check or money order

made payable to the clerk of court in the amount of $10.85. If by February 17, 2017, petitioner
fails to make the initial partial appeal payment or show cause for failure to do so, the clerk's

office will notify the court of appeals so that it may take whatever action it deems appropriate
with respect to this appeal.
