IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
DAMON D. TAYLOR,
Plaintiff,
v.
TIM J. GRUENKE, et al.
Defendants.
ORDER
Case No. 26-cv-70-wmc
Plaintiff Damon D. Taylor 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 19, 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 Damon D. Taylor may have until February 19, 2026 to
submit a certified trust fund account statement for the period beginning approximately July
28, 2025 and ending approximately January 28, 2026. If plaintiff fails to respond to this order
by February 19, 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
