IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
DAVID DARNELL NELSON,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 17-cv-310-jdp
MICHAEL D. GOULEE, et al.
Defendants.

Plaintiff David Darnell Nelson 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 May 12, 2017. 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 David Darnell Nelson may have until May 12, 2017
to submit a trust fund account statement for the period beginning approximately October 26,
2016 and ending approximately April 26, 2017.

If, by May 12, 2017, 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.

Entered this 28th day of April, 2017.
BY THE COURT:
