ORDER GRANTING MOTIONS TO

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

DOCKET NOS. 2, 4

Plaintiff, a prisoner at Pelican Bay State Prison has filed a pro se complaint under 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983. The Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s motions to proceed in forma pauperis (docket nos. 2, 4).

zero account balance over the last six months, no initial partial filing fee is due. Funds for the

filing fee will be taken from income to Plaintiff’s account in accordance with 28 U.S.C. §

1915(B)(1). A copy of this order and the attached instructions will be sent to plaintiff, the

prison trust account office, and the court’s financial office.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

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.
