IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
LARRY J. BROWN,

v.

Plaintiff,

DOUG BELLILE, et al

ORDER
Case No. 20-cv-337-wmc

Defendants.

Plaintiff Larry J. Brown a patient at Sand Ridge Secure Treatment Center in
Mauston, WI has filed a proposed complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging
constitutional rights violations. Plaintiff requests leave to proceed without prepayment of
the filing fee and has submitted a resident account statement for the period of October 9,
2019 to April 9, 2020.
This court uses one method for determining the indigent status of all
institutionalized persons, even those like plaintiff who are not subject to the 1996 Prisoner
Litigation Reform Act. This method requires plaintiff to submit a certified copy of a
resident account statement for the entire six-month period immediately preceding the filing
of the complaint
A certified copy of plaintiff’s resident account statement for the entire sixth-month
period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint must be provided if plaintiff
intends to pursue the request for leave to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee.
Because plaintiff’s complaint was submitted on April 9, 2020, the certified resident account
statement should cover the period beginning approximately October 9, 2019 and ending

approximately April 9, 2020. If plaintiff fails to submit the required statement within the
deadline set below, I will assume that plaintiff wishes to withdraw this action voluntarily.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Larry J. Brown may have until April 30, 2020 to
submit a certified copy of plaintiff’s resident account statement for the period beginning
approximately October 9, 2019 and ending approximately April 9, 2020. If, by April 30,
2020, 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 this case at a later date.

Entered this 9th day of April, 2020.
