IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
ALEXI VALENTIN RUIZ-BOWERS,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 17-cv-571-jdp
WISCONSIN DANE COUNTY JAIL,
Defendant.

Plaintiff Alexi Valentin Ruiz-Bowers 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 August 16, 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 Alexi Valentin Ruiz-Bowers may have until August 16,
2017 to submit a trust fund account statement for the period beginning approximately
January 24, 2017 and ending approximately July 24, 2017. If, by August 16, 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 25th day of July, 2017.
