Cole, Freeman v. Securus Technologies

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
FREEMAN LAMONT COLE,
Plaintiff,
v.
SECURUS TECHNOLOGIES,
Defendant.
ORDER
Case No. 26-cv-230-wmc
Plaintiff Freeman Lamont Cole has filed a proposed civil complaint and has requested
leave to proceed without prepaying the filing fee. 	To evaluate plaintiff’s request to proceed
without prepayment, I must review 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).
For this case to proceed, plaintiff must submit a certified trust fund account statement
no later than April 13, 2026. 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 will be required to pay the
balance of the filing fee in installments.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Freeman Lamont Cole may have until April 13, 2026 to
submit a certified trust fund account statement for the period beginning approximately
September 18, 2025 and ending approximately March 18, 2026. If plaintiff fails to respond
to this order by April 13, 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.
