v.
ADAM J. BIRCHEM,
Defendants.
ORDER
Case No. 24-cv-482-jdp
App. No. 26-1075
On February 2, 2026, the court ordered plaintiff Shareef Childs 	to make an initial
partial payment of the appellate docketing fee in the amount of $130.28, to be submitted by
February 23, 2026. Now plaintiff has filed a motion to use release account funds to make the
payment. The motion is granted.
The only amount that plaintiff must pay at this time is the initial partial payment of
$130.28. 	Before prison officials take any portion of the payment from plaintiff’s release
account, they may take money from plaintiff’s regular account, up to the full amount that
plaintiff owes. 	Since plaintiff has not yet made the payment, an enlargement of time until
March 19, 2026 is provided.
ORDER

1. 	Plaintiff Shareef Childs’s motion to use release account funds to make an initial
partial payment of the appellate docketing fee is GRANTED, as noted above.
2. 	Plaintiff may have until March 19, 2026 to submit a check or money order made
payable to the clerk of court in the amount of $130.28. If plaintiff fails to make the payment
