ORDER on ifp request: Initial partial filing fee of $ 24.95 assessed. Initial partial filing fee due 5/13/2020. Signed by Magistrate Judge Peter A. Oppeneer on 04/22/2020. (aom),(ps)
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
LARRY BROWN,
v.
Plaintiff,
DOUG BELLILE, et al
ORDER
Case No. 20-cv-337-wmc
Defendants.
Plaintiff Larry Brown has filed a proposed civil action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983,
concerning Civil Rights at Sand Ridge Secure Treatment Center, where plaintiff is in
custody pursuant to Wis. Stat. ch. 980. Plaintiff has filed a motion for leave to proceed
without prepayment of the filing fee.
As proof of indigence, plaintiff has filed a certified copy of a six-month resident
account statement so that the court can calculate what amount of money, if any, plaintiff
would have to prepay toward the filing fee. After considering the motion and supporting
documentation, the court concludes that plaintiff qualifies for indigent status.
Using information for the relevant time period from plaintiff’s resident account
statement, I calculate plaintiff’s initial partial filing fee to be $24.95. For this case to
proceed, plaintiff must submit this amount on or before May 13, 2020.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that:
1.
The motion filed by plaintiff Larry Brown for leave to proceed without
prepayment of the filing fee is GRANTED. Plaintiff is assessed $24.95 as an initial partial
payment of the $350.00 fee for filing this case as an indigent litigant. Plaintiff shall submit
a check or money order made payable to the “Clerk of Court” in the amount of $24.95 on
or before May 13, 2020. If plaintiff fails to comply as directed or show cause of failure to
do so, the court will assume that plaintiff does not wish to proceed and this case will be
dismissed without prejudice to plaintiff filing the case at a later date.
2.
No further action will be taken in this case until the clerk’s office receives
plaintiff’s initial partial filing fee as directed above and the court has screened the
complaint as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Once the screening process is complete,
a separate order will issue.
Entered this 22nd day of April, 2020.
