IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
JAMES A. SMITH, JR.,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 16-cv-10-wmc
WILLIAM POLLARD, et al.
Defendants.

On January 13, 2016, this court entered an order directing plaintiff to submit by
February 5, 2016, an initial partial payment of the filing fee in this case in the amount of
$0.87. Now plaintiff has filed a letter asking the court to waive the $0.87 initial partial
payment.
Plaintiff’s request will be denied. A review of plaintiff’s inmate account statement
shows that he has received several deposits preceding the filing of his complaint. With an
enlargement of time, plaintiff may be able to pay his initial partial fee. Plaintiff may have
until March 25, 2016 to pay his $0.87 initial partial payment. If plaintiff has not received
any deposits since the end date of his last trust fund statement, he may submit a new
certified account statement to show that no deposits have been made to his account.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff James A. Smith, Jr.’s request to waive the initial partial
filing fee, dkt #7, is DENIED without prejudice. Plaintiff may have until March 25, 2016,
to submit a check or money order made payable to the clerk of court in the amount of $0.87.
If plaintiff fails to respond to this order, or show cause for failure to do so, plaintiff will be

held to have withdrawn this action voluntarily and the case will be closed without prejudice
to plaintiff's filing this case at a later date.

Entered this 2nd day of March, 2016.
