ANTHONY ZAMORA, JR.,

Plaintiff,

v.

SCOTT JONES, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:14-cv-2871 KJN P

ORDER FOR PAYMENT OF INMATE 

FILING FEE

To: Director of the California Department of Mental Health, 1600 Ninth Street, Sacramento, 

Sacramento, California 95814:

Plaintiff is a state inmate confined in Napa 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).
