IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
KARL EDWARD HERRINGTON,
Petitioner,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 16-cv-451-wmc
LOUIS WILLIAMS II,
Respondent.

Petitioner Karl Edward Herrington seeks a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner has submitted a motion for leave to proceed without prepayment
of the filing fee. (Dkt. # 2). The court cannot consider this motion, however, because it lacks
supporting documentation regarding petitioner’s eligibility for indigent status. For this case
to move forward, petitioner must either pay the $5 filing fee or submit a certified inmate
trust fund account statement (or institutional equivalent) for the six-month period
immediately preceding the filing of this habeas corpus petition. If petitioner does not submit
either the $5 filing fee or a trust fund account statement before July 15, 2016, the court will
assume that petitioner wishes to withdraw this petition.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that:
1.

The motion for leave to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee (Dkt. #

2) is DENIED at this time.
2.

No later than July 15, 2016, petitioner Karl Edward Herrington shall pay the

$5 filing fee or submit a certified copy of petitioner’s inmate trust fund account statement for

the six-month period from the date of the habeas petition (December 17, 2015 through at
least June 17, 2016).
3.

If petitioner fails to pay the $5 filing fee, comply as directed, or show cause for

failure to do so, the court will assume that petitioner wishes to withdraw this petition.
Entered this 24th day of June, 2016.
