IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
PATRICK D. HUDSON,
Plaintiff,
v.
CHIPPEWA COUNTY et al,
Defendants.
ORDER
Case No. 25-cv-1015-jdp
Plaintiff Patrick D. Hudson has filed a proposed civil complaint, but has neither paid
the filing fee, nor requested leave to proceed without prepayment. 	For this case to proceed,
plaintiff must pay the $405 filing fee1 or submit a properly supported motion for leave to
proceed without prepayment by January 5, 2026.
A motion for leave to proceed without prepayment must be accompanied by 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). If I
find that plaintiff is indigent, I will calculate an initial partial payment of the filing fee that
plaintiff must pay before the court can screen the complaint on the merits under 28 U.S.C. §
1915(e)(2). Thereafter, plaintiff must pay the balance of the filing fee in installments.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Patrick D. Hudson may have until January 5, 2026 to
submit the $405 filing fee or a motion for leave to proceed without prepayment and a trust
fund account statement for the period beginning approximately June 10, 2025 and ending
1 Effective December 1, 2023, the cost to file a civil action in federal court is $405 — a $350 statutory
fee plus a $55 administrative fee that does not apply to persons granted in forma pauperis status under
28 U.S.C. § 1915.

approximately December 10, 2025. 	If plaintiff fails to respond to this order by January 5,
2026, then I will assume that plaintiff wishes to withdraw this action voluntarily. In that event,
the case will be dismissed without prejudice to plaintiff refiling at a later date.
Entered this 11th day of December, 2025.
