IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
DANIEL PATRICK PICKETT,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 17-cv-674-jdp
WARDEN BRIAN FOSTER and
BUILDING AND MAINTENANCE
SUPERINTENDENT OF THE D.O.C.
(JOHN DOE / JANE DOE),
Defendants.

Plaintiff Daniel Patrick Pickett 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 September 21, 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 Daniel Patrick Pickett may have until September 21,
2017 to submit a trust fund account statement for the period beginning approximately
February 28, 2017 and ending approximately August 29, 2017. If, by September 21, 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.
