IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT  FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN    KAREEN HAYES,      Plaintiff,  v.    LAURA FLEURY, et al      Defendants.        ORDER    Case No. 20-cv-728-jdp       Plaintiff Kareen Hayes has submitted a certified inmate trust fund account statement  for the six month period preceding the complaint in support of the pending motion to proceed  without prepayment of the filing fee. Accordingly, the court must determine whether plaintiff  qualifies for indigent status and, if so, calculate an initial partial payment of the $350.00 fee  for filing this case.    Even when an inmate litigant qualifies for indigent status, the litigant must pay a  portion of the fee returned by the formula set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). Using  information for the relevant time period from plaintiff’s trust fund account statement, I  calculate plaintiff’s initial partial filing fee to be $280.35. For this case to proceed, plaintiff  must submit this amount on or before January 3, 2022.    If plaintiff does not have enough money to make the initial partial payment from  plaintiff’s regular account, plaintiff should arrange with prison authorities to pay the remainder  from plaintiff’s release account.
