IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
MARK NELSON,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.

Case No. 23-cv-028-jdp

DANIEL M. CROMWELL,
Defendant.

Plaintiff Mark Nelson 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 February 7, 2023. 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 Mark Nelson may have until February 7, 2023 to
submit a trust fund account statement for the period beginning approximately July 17, 2022
and ending approximately January 17, 2023.

If, by February 7, 2023, 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 17th day of January, 2023.
