ase No. 26-cv -752-wmc
Pla
intiff Johnny Ray Hunley, Jr., a prisoner in the custody of the Wisconsin
Department of Corrections, has filed a proposed civil complaint. Plaintiff is a prisoner
and, therefore, subject to the 1996 Prisoner Litigation Reform Act. Plaintiff has requested
leave to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee and has submitted several uncertified
monthly inmate transaction statements to support this request. These statements are
insufficient to determine whether plaintiff qualifies for indigent status beca
use plaintiff has
not submitted 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.
For this case to proceed, plaintiff must submit a certified trust fund account statement
no later than September 8, 2026. If I find that plaintiff is indigent, I will calculate an initial
partial payment of the $350 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 will be
required to pay the balance of the filing fee in installments.

this order by September 8, 2026, I will assume that plaintiff wishes to withdraw this action
