PATRICIA A. DOWNS, Plaintiff, v. CITY OF LA CROSSE, et al, Defendants.
ORDER
PETER OPPENEER, MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff Patricia A. Downs has filed a proposed civil complaint. Plaintiff has not paid the $402 filing fee nor asked for leave to proceed without prepayment of fees or costs. In the event that plaintiff wishes to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee, the enclosed petition and affidavit must be completed to determine whether plaintiff qualifies as indigent.
Effective December 1, 2020, the total fee for filing a civil action is $402 (the $350 statutory fee plus the $52 miscellaneous administrative fee).
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Patricia A. Downs may have until September 14, 2021, in which to either pay the $402 filing fee or to submit an affidavit of indigency and return it to the court. If, by September 14, 2021, plaintiff fails to respond to this order, I will assume that plaintiff wishes to withdraw this action voluntarily. In that event, the case will be closed without prejudice to plaintiff filing the case at a later date.
