Case: 3:08-cv-00301-slc        Document #: 4         Filed: 05/30/2008        Page 2 of 3
Petitioner Rodney C. Moore, a prisoner at the Columbia Correctional Institution in
Portage, Wisconsin, has submitted two proposed complaints.   He requests leave to proceed
in forma pauperis in each action.   A decision on the requests will be delayed until petitioner
pays an initial partial payment of the filing fee for each action as required by 28 U.S.C. §
1915(b) and the 1996 Prison Litigation Reform Act.   Petitioner's initial partial payment
cannot be calculated at this time because the trust fund account statement he submitted with
his complaints do not cover the full six-month period immediately preceding the filing of his
complaints.
Petitioner's complaints were submitted to the court on May 23, 2008.                                (Curiously,
they  purport  to  have  been  signed  on  May  25,  2008.)    Petitioner’s  trust  fund  account
statement should cover the period beginning approximately November 20, 2007 and ending
approximately May 20, 2008.  Instead, covers a five-day period in November (Nov. 25-Nov.
30), a two-month period beginning January 4, 2008 and ending February 29, 2008, and a
three week period beginning April  3,  2008 and ending April 24,  2008.   In other words,
petitioner’s trust fund account statements for all of December and March, from April 25,
2008 until May 20, 2008 are missing.   If petitioner wants to continue with these lawsuits,
he will have to arrange to supply the missing statements to the court.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that petitioner may have until June 19, 2008, in which to submit
a trust fund account statement for the period beginning December  1,  2007 and ending
January 3, 2008, and for the period beginning March 1, 2008 and ending April 2, 2008, and
for the period beginning April 25, 2008 and ending May 20, 2008.   If, by June 19, 2008,
petitioner fails to respond to this order, I will assume that he wishes to withdraw these
actions voluntarily and, in that case, the clerk of court is directed to close these files without
prejudice to petitioner's filing his cases at a later date.
th
Entered this 29                                                                                      day of May, 2008.
                                                                                                     BY THE COURT:
