ORDER on ifp request: Plaintiff Carlos Lindsey to submit six-month Trust Fund Account Statement by 9/6/2017. Signed by Magistrate Judge Peter A. Oppeneer on 8/15/2017. (nln),(ps)

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

ORDER

v.
Case No. 17-cv-623-jdp
STACEY HOEM
and PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICE,
Defendants.

Plaintiff Carlos Lindsey has filed a proposed complaint and requests leave to proceed
without prepayment of the filing fee. However, a decision regarding plaintiff’s indigency status
cannot be made at this time because the trust fund account statements plaintiff submitted do
not cover the entire six-month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint.
Plaintiff has submitted statements for part of the months of July and August 2017.
These statements are insufficient to determine if plaintiff qualifies for indigent status. Instead,
plaintiff must submit a certified copy of a trust fund account statement for the entire six-month
period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint beginning approximately February
13, 2017 and ending approximately August 13, 2017. Once the necessary statement has been
submitted, I will calculate the initial partial payment and advise plaintiff of the amount due
before the court can screen the merits of the complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2).

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Carlos Lindsey may have an enlargement of time until
September 6, 2017 to submit a certified trust fund account statement for the period beginning
approximately February 13, 2017 and ending approximately August 13, 2017.

If, by

September 6, 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 15th day of August, 2017.
