FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
EDWARD WALTER BOBNAR,
Plaintiff,
v.
BRIAN JAMES, et al.
Defendants.
ORDER
Case No. 25-cv-1024-jdp
Plaintiff Edward Walter Bobnar 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 February 20, 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 Edward Walter Bobnar may have until February 20,
2026 to submit a certified trust fund account statement for the period beginning approximately
June 15, 2025 and ending approximately December 15, 2025. If plaintiff fails to respond to
this order by February 20, 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
