Plaintiff is a state inmate confined in Atascadero State Hospital. Plaintiff, who is 

proceeding in forma pauperis, is obligated to pay the statutory filing fee of $350.00 for this 

action. Plaintiff is assessed an initial partial filing fee of 20 percent of the greater of (a) the 

average monthly deposits to plaintiff’s trust account; or (b) the average monthly balance in 

plaintiff’s account for the 6-month period immediately preceding the filing of this action. 28 

U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). Upon payment of that initial partial filing fee, plaintiff will be obligated to 

make monthly payments in the amount of twenty percent of the preceding month’s income 

credited to plaintiff’s trust account. The California Department of Mental Health is required to 

send to the Clerk of the Court the initial partial filing fee and thereafter payments from plaintiff’s 

trust account each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00, until the statutory filing fee of 

$350.00 is paid in full. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2).

Good cause appearing therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
