IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
JAMES ROBERT TURNER,
Petitioner,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 17-cv-642-jdp
MICHAEL DITTMANN,
Respondent.

Petitioner James Robert Turner 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 James Robert Turner’s motion for leave to
proceed without prepayment of the filing fee is GRANTED.
Entered this 18th day of August, 2017.
