Order Granting Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis

G:\PRO-SE\SJ.Jf\CR.08\Roby113ifp.wpd 2

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAYMENT OF PRISONER’S FILING FEE

The prisoner shown as the plaintiff or petitioner on the attached order has filed a

civil action in forma pauperis in this court and owes to the court a filing fee. 

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, the fee is to be paid as follows:

The initial partial filing fee listed on the attached order should be deducted

by the prison trust account office from the prisoner’s trust account and

forwarded to the clerk of the court as the first installment payment on the

filing fee. This amount is twenty percent of the greater of (a) the average

monthly deposits to the prisoner’s account for the 6-month period

immediately preceding the filing of the complaint/petition or (b) the average

monthly balance in the prisoner’s account for the 6-month period

immediately preceding the filing of the complaint/petition. 

Thereafter, on a monthly basis, 20 percent of the preceding month’s income

credited to the prisoner’s trust account should be deducted and forwarded to

the court each time the amount in the account exceeds ten dollars ($10.00). 

The prison trust account office should continue to do this until the filing fee

has been paid in full. 

If the prisoner does not have sufficient funds in his/her account to pay the initial

partial filing fee, the prison trust account office should forward the available funds,

and carry the balance forward each month until the amount is fully paid. 

If the prisoner has filed more than one complaint, (s)he is required to pay a filing

fee for each case. The trust account office should make the monthly calculations

and payments for each case in which it receives an order granting in forma pauperis

and these instructions.

The prisoner’s name and case number must be noted on each remittance. The

initial partial filing fee is due within thirty days of the date of the attached order. 

Checks should be made payable to Clerk, U.S. District Court and sent to Prisoner

Accounts Receivable, U.S. District Court, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, Box 36060,

San Francisco, CA 94102.
