IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
ELPIDIO JUAREZ,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
ANTHONY HENTZ, CAROL WALTER and
JEAN FELBER,

Appeal No. 17-2458
Case No. 16-cv-181-jdp

Defendants.
Plaintiff Elpidio Juarez has filed a notice of appeal from the court’s July 7, 2017 order
and requests leave to proceed without prepaying the $505 appellate filing fee. Although
plaintiff has filed a motion for leave to proceed without payment of the appellate filing fee,
plaintiff neglected to include a certified trust fund account statement (or institutional
equivalent) as required by the federal in forma pauperis statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2).
Accordingly, the court cannot consider plaintiff’s motion at this time.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Elpidio Juarez may have until August 25, 2017 to either
(1) pay the $505 appellate docketing fee; or (2) submit a certified trust fund account statement
for the six-month period preceding the filing of the appeal in compliance with 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(a)(2). Failure to comply as directed may result in the dismissal of this appeal.

Entered this 3rd day of August, 2017.
BY THE COURT:
