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

Case No. 17-cv-52-jdp

BOUGHTON, et al.
Respondents.

On February 14, 2017, plaintiff Carlos Lindsey was assessed $0.48 as initial partial
payments of the $350 filing fee for this case. On February 27, 2017, the court received from
plaintiff a check in the amount of $0.25, along with a letter indicating that plaintiff has no
money available in his regular account and only has $0.25 available in his release account.
Dkt. #6. I construe plaintiff’s letter as a request that the court accept the $0.25 payment as
the initial partial payment this case. Plaintiff’s request will be granted.
The court will accept the $0.25 amount as the initial partial payment in this case 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 this case, and that the remaining balance
of the $350 fee 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 $0.25 payment for case 17-cv-52-jdp is accepted as

the initial partial payment of the $350 filing fee for filing this 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.

Entered this 28th day of February, 2017.
