ORDER

Plaintiff Rockney Willard Martineau, who is confined in the Maricopa County Towers

Jail, filed a pro se civil rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and an Application

to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. The Court granted Plaintiff’s Application to Proceed, which

required Plaintiff to pay the statutory filing fee of $350.00. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). The

Court ordered that monthly payments be made from Plaintiff’s inmate jail account. (Doc.

#10.)

Plaintiff has filed a letter alleging that he sent the Court an “International Promissory

Note” and a “1040-v Payment Voucher” for $350.00, which he claims the Court has accepted

as payment of the filing fee. He also encloses additional documents that purport to be

payment of the fee. The Court will construe the letter as a motion to accept the promissory

note, voucher, or additional documents as payment of the filing fee; the Court denies the

motion.
