IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
MICHAEL JONES,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 17-cv-907-jdp
DR. SYED, et al.
Defendants.

Plaintiff Michael Jones 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 December 27, 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 Michael Jones may have until December 27, 2017 to
submit a trust fund account statement for the period beginning approximately May 27, 2017
and ending approximately November 29, 2017. If, by December 27, 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 4th day of December, 2017.
BY THE COURT:
