COURT OF APPEALS OF WISCONSIN,
DISTRICT FOUR,
Respondent.
ORDER
Case No. 26-cv-104-jdp
Petitioner Sean W. Moore seeks a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.
Petitioner has submitted a motion for leave to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee.
(Dkt. # 2). 	The court cannot consider this motion, however, because it lacks supporting
documentation regarding petitioner’s eligibility for indigent status. 	For this case to move
forward, petitioner must either pay the $5 filing fee or submit a certified inmate trust fund
account statement (or institutional equivalent) for the six-month period immediately preceding
the filing of this habeas corpus petition. If petitioner does not submit either the $5 filing fee
or a trust fund account statement before March 5, 2026, the court will assume that petitioner
wishes to withdraw this action voluntarily and will dismiss the petition.
