IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN _________________________________________________________________________________________ DERRICK LAMONT MOORE, ORDER Plaintiff, v. CHIEF ROBERT P. WEIER, OFFICER ALAN SCHRANK and MINERAL POINT POLICE DEPARTMENT, Defendants. 11-cv-800-slc

__________________________________________________________________________________
This case was closed when plaintiff Derrick Moore failed to supplement his inmate trust fund account statement for the purpose of allowing the court to determine whether he qualified to proceed with this case in forma pauperis. As it turns out, the court did not have plaintiff's current address: the order mailed to plaintiff directing him to provide the supplemental trust fund account statement was returned to the court as undeliverable because plaintiff was no longer in the custody of the Dane County Jail. Now plaintiff has submitted a letter explaining why he could not provide the original requested six-month trust fund account statement as well as a prisoner trust fund account statement from the Dodge Correctional Institution for the period from December 7, 2011 to January 26, 2012. I will construe plaintiff's letter as a motion to reopen this case and will grant his motion. From plaintiff's resident account statement from the Dane County Jail and the prisoner trust fund account statement from Dodge Correctional Institution, I conclude that plaintiff has the means to prepay a portion of the filing fee in the amount of $10.63. Plaintiff is reminded that paying the amount I have determined he is able to prepay is just the first step in obtaining leave to proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C.
