IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
STEVEN D. STEWART,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.

Case No. 21-cv-558-jdp

MELISSA BLOCK, et al
Defendants.

Plaintiff Steven D. Stewart has filed a proposed civil complaint and requested leave to
proceed without prepaying the filing fee. To evaluate plaintiff’s request to proceed without
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 28, 2021. 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 Steven D. Stewart may have until September 28, 2021
to submit a trust fund account statement for the period beginning approximately March 7,
2021 and ending approximately September 7, 2021. If, by September 28, 2021, 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 7th day of September, 2021.
