ORDER
Plaintiff Orlando Pilcher, a prisoner at the Federal Correctional Institution in Oxford, Wisconsin, has submitted a proposed complaint. He requests leave to proceed in forma pauperis. A decision on the request will be delayed until plaintiff pays an initial partial payment of the filing fee as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b) and the 1996 Prison Litigation Reform Act. Plaintiff's initial partial payment cannot be calculated at this time because the trust fund account statement he submitted with his complaint does not cover the full six-month period immediately preceding the filing of his complaint.
Plaintiff's complaint was submitted on May 20, 2009. His trust fund account statement should cover the period beginning approximately November 19, 2008 and ending approximately May 20, 2009. Instead, it covers the six-month period beginning March 12, 2008 and ending December 10, 2008. If plaintiff intends to pursue his request to proceed in forma pauperis he will need to submit a supplemental trust fund account statement that covers the missing period beginning December 10, 2008 and ending May 20, 2009.
