Hunter, Cornelius v. U.S. Corrections Transport et al

Filing 7

ORDER denying 6 Motion to Waive Initial Partial Filing Fee. Initial partial filing fee due 1/3/2018. Signed by Magistrate Judge Peter A. Oppeneer on 12/7/2017. (jef),(ps)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
CORNELIUS ISAAC HUNTER,
Plaintiff,
v.
U.S. CORRECTIONS TRANSPORT, et al.,

ORDER
17-cv-876-wmc

Defendants.
On November 28, 2017, I entered an order directing plaintiff Cornelius Hunter to
submit an initial partial payment of the filing fee in the amount of $4.40 by December 12,
2017. On December 6, 2017, plaintiff filed a letter requesting to waive the $4.40 initial
partial payment. Dkt. 6. Plaintiff’s request will be denied without prejudice.
The account statement that plaintiff filed with his complaint shows that he has
received deposits to his trust fund account. Because it may well be that plaintiff will be able
to make the initial partial payment from the next deposit made to his account, or as he says
in his letter, that a family member may send in the payment, I am willing to provide him an
extension of time, until January 3, 2017, in which to pay the $4.40 initial partial filing fee.
If, by January 3, 2017, plaintiff is unable to pay the initial partial payment, he is free to
renew his request to waive the initial partial filing fee, supported by a recent account
statement and any correspondence from his business office.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that:
1.

Plaintiff Cornelius Hunter’s request for the court to waive the initial partial

payment in this case, dkt. 6, is DENIED without prejudice.
2.

Plaintiff may have an enlargement of time to January 3, 2017, in which to

submit a check or money order payable to the clerk of court in the amount of $4.40.
3.

If, by January 3, 2017, plaintiff fails to make the initial partial payment, or

show cause for failure to do so, plaintiff will be held to have withdrawn this action voluntarily
and the case will be closed without prejudice to plaintiff’s filing his case at a later date.
Entered this day 7th of December, 2017.

BY THE COURT:
