IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
RENALDO ABDUL WATKINS, and
TRYCIA NOWAK,
ORDER
Plaintiffs,
v.

Case No. 16-cv-592-jdp

DAN HANNIFAN, et al.
Defendants.

Plaintiff Renaldo Abdul Watkins has filed a proposed civil complaint and requested
leave to proceed without prepaying the filing fee. To evaluate plaintiff’s request to proceed
with prepayment of the filing fee, I must review a certified copy of plaintiff’s inmate trust
fund account statement (or institutional equivalent) for the six-month period immediately
preceding the filing of the complaint. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2).
For this case to proceed, plaintiff must submit the certified trust fund account
statement no later than September 29, 2016. If I find that plaintiff is indigent, I will
calculate an initial partial payment amount that must be paid before the court can screen the
merits of the complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Thereafter, plaintiff will be required
to pay the balance of the filing fee in installments.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Renaldo Abdul Watkins may have until September 29,
2016 to submit a trust fund account statement for the period beginning approximately
March 1, 2016 and ending approximately September 1, 2016. If, by September 29, 2016,
plaintiff fails to respond to this order, I will assume that plaintiff wishes to withdraw this

action voluntarily. In that event, the case will be closed without prejudice to plaintiff filing
the case at a later date.
