Maholmes, Antonio v. Drexler, Ashley et al
Filing

ORDER on ifp request: Complaint taken under advisement for screening. Signed by Magistrate Judge Andrew R. Wiseman on 1/27/2025. (jef),(ps)
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
ANTONIO MAHOLMES, JR.,
v.
Plaintiff,
ORDER
Case No. 25-cv-60-jdp
ASHLEY DREXLER, et al.,
Defendants.
Plaintiff Antonio Maholmes, Jr., an inmate in the custody of the Marathon County Jail
in Wausau, Wisconsin, has submitted a certified trust fund account statement for the sixmonth period preceding the filing of a complaint in support of plaintiff’s motion for leave to
proceed without prepaying the filing fee. Using information from the account statement, it
appears that plaintiff presently has no means with which to pay the filing fee or make an initial
partial payment.
Accordingly, the court will grant plaintiff’s motion to proceed without
prepaying the filing fee and will not assess an initial partial payment.
Because plaintiff is an inmate, plaintiff is subject to the Prison Litigation Reform Act,
which requires the court to screen the complaint to determine whether any portion is frivolous,
malicious, fails to state a claim on which relief may be granted, or seeks monetary relief from a
defendant who is immune from such relief. Plaintiff is advised that the full $350 filing fee for
indigent litigants remains plaintiff’s obligation even if this court ultimately determines that the
complaint cannot go forward. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2).
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that:
1.
The motion filed by plaintiff Antonio Maholmes, Jr. for leave to proceed without
prepayment of the filing fee is GRANTED.
2.
No further action will be taken in this case until the court has screened the
complaint as required by the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Once the
screening process is complete, the court will issue a separate order.
Entered this 27th day of January, 2025.
