TOMMY JAY EUGENE JOSEPH REID,

Plaintiff,

Defendants.

No. 2:23-cv-1937 DB P

ORDER FOR PAYMENT OF INMATE 

FILING FEE

To: The Sheriff of Stanislaus County, 250 E Hackett Road, Modesto, CA 95358:

Plaintiff, a county detainee 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 Stanislaus County Sheriff is required to send to 

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

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).
