Filing 5

ORDER granting 3 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis. Signed by Magistrate Judge Peter A. Oppeneer on 3/7/2017. (nln),(ps)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
RONALD E. SCHROEDER,
Petitioner,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 17-cv-139-bbc
LIZZIE TEGELS,
Respondent.

Petitioner Ronald E. Schroeder has submitted a certified inmate trust fund account
statement for the six-month period preceding the filing of a habeas petition. Accordingly, the
court must determine whether petitioner qualifies for indigent status and, if so, calculate the
initial partial payment of the $5.00 fee for this case.
Having considered petitioner’s affidavit of indigency and the inmate trust fund
account statement, I find that petitioner is unable to prepay the fees of commencing this
action or to post security therefor. Accordingly, petitioner’s request for leave to proceed in
forma pauperis is granted.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that petitioner Ronald E. Schroeder’s motion for leave to
proceed without prepayment of the filing fee is GRANTED.
Entered this 7th day of March, 2017.
