IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
JASON LEE WRIGHT,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 16-cv-119-bbc
SAUK COUNTY SHERIFF DEPT OF
CORRECTIONS, et al.,
Defendants.

On March 24, 2016, this court entered an order directing plaintiff Jason Lee Wright
to submit, by April 15, 2016, an initial partial payment of the filing fee in the amount of
$15.00.

On April 7, 2016, plaintiff submitted a letter in which he says that he lacks

sufficient funds to pay the assessed initial partial payment of the filing fee, which I will
construe as a motion to waive payment of the initial partial filing fee.
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 May 3, 2016 to pay his $15.00 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 Jason Lee Wright’s request to waive the initial partial
filing fee, dkt #8, is DENIED without prejudice. Plaintiff may have until May 3, 2016, to
submit a check or money order made payable to the clerk of court in the amount of $15.00.

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held to have withdrawn this action voluntarily and the case will be closed without prejudice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 12th day of April, 2016.
