Order Granting Motions to Proceed In Forma Pauperis

P:\pro-se\sj.jf\cr.05\Martin142ifp 2

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.
