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.
