Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a civilly committed resident of Atascadero State Hospital, has filed a

motion for reimbursement of the initial, partial filing fee imposed by this court under the Prison

Litigation Reform Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1997e (h) and the statutes authorizing the collection of such

fees from prisoners. 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (a) (2), (h). His request is well taken. Page v. Torrey, 201

pauperis, he is not required to pay the filing fee in installments. 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (a)(3). 

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma pauperis is reaffirmed;

2. Plaintiff is not required to pay the filing fee either as a condition precedent to

proceeding or in installments;
