IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
TRENT TYLER TREPANIA,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 23-cv-340-jdp
SGT. R. DAVIDSON, J.A. CURPHY,
SGT. FRICK AND LT. STACY MINTER,
Defendants.

Plaintiff Trent Tyler Trepania, an inmate in the custody of the Douglas County Jail,
has submitted a proposed civil action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has filed an inmate
account statement in support of the motion for leave to proceed without prepaying the fee.
After considering the motion and supporting documentation, the court concludes that plaintiff
qualifies for indigent status.
Even when an inmate litigant qualifies for indigent status, the litigant must pay a
portion of the fee returned by the formula set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). Using
information for the relevant time period from plaintiff’s trust fund account statement, I
conclude plaintiff’s initial partial filing fee to be $6.17. For this case to proceed, plaintiff must
submit this amount on or before June 12, 2023.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that,
1.

Plaintiff Trent Tyler Trepania is assessed $6.17 as an initial partial payment of

the $350.00 fee for filing this case. Plaintiff is to submit a check or money order made payable

to the clerk of court in the amount of $6.17 or advise the court in writing why plaintiff is not
able to submit the assessed amount on or before June 12, 2023.
2.

If, by June 12, 2023, plaintiff fails to make the initial partial payment or show

cause for failure to do so, plaintiff will be held to have withdrawn this action voluntarily and
the case will be closed without prejudice to plaintiff filing this case at a later date.
3.

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 the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Once the screening
process is complete, a separate order will issue.

Entered this 22nd day of May, 2023.
