IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
CARLOS LINDSEY,
ORDER
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 16-cv-614-jdp

LARRY PRIMMER, et al.
Respondents.

On October 3, 2016, plaintiff Carlos Lindsey was assessed $0.47 as initial partial
payments of the $350 filing fees for cases 16-cv-613-jdp and 16-cv-614-jdp. On October 19,
2016, the court received from plaintiff a check in the amount of $0.51, of which $0.47 was
applied as the initial partial payment in case 16-cv-613-jdp. The remainder of $0.04 was
applied toward the initial partial payment of the 16-cv-614-jdp case.

Plaintiff still owes

$0.43 of the $0.47 initial partial filing fee in case 16-cv-614-jdp. Plaintiff, however, requests
that the court accept the $0.51 payment as the initial partial payment for both cases, 16-cv613-jdp and 16-cv-614-jdp. (Dkt. #5.). Plaintiff’s request will be granted.
The court will accept the $0.04 amount as the initial partial payment in case
16-cv-614-jdp and will proceed with screening of his complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(A).
Plaintiff should be aware that he still owes the full $350 fee for filing each case and that the
remaining balance of the $350 filing fees will be collected and sent to the court in
installments of 20% of the preceding month's income in accordance with § 1915(b)(2).

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that,
1. Plaintiff Carlos Lindsey’s $0.04 payment for case 16-cv-614-jdp is accepted as the
initial partial payment of the $350 filing fee for filing that case.
2. No further action will be taken in this case until the court has screened the
complaint as required by the Prisoner Litigation Reform Act, 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(e)(2). Once the screening process is complete, a separate order will issue.
