Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On September 26, 2006, a magistrate judge issued findings and

recommendations herein recommending dismissal for failure to file a completed in forma

pauperis application or pay the filing and failure to file an amended complaint, all directed by

the court on August 2, 2006. On December 5, 2006, plaintiff filed a completed application to

proceed in forma pauperis. The September 26, 2006 findings and recommendations will be

vacated.

Plaintiff has submitted a declaration that makes the showing required by 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(a). Accordingly, the request to proceed in forma pauperis is granted. 

Plaintiff is required to pay the statutory filing fee of $350.00 for this action. 28 U.S.C. §§

1914(a), 1915(b)(1). An initial partial filing fee of $1.02 will be assessed by this order. 28

U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). By separate order, the court will direct the appropriate agency to collect

the initial partial filing fee from plaintiff’s trust account and forward it to the Clerk of the Court. 

Thereafter, plaintiff will be obligated for monthly payments of twenty percent of the preceding

month’s income credited to plaintiff’s prison trust account. These payments will be forwarded

by the appropriate agency to the Clerk of the Court each time the amount in plaintiff’s account

exceeds $10.00, until the filing fee is paid in full. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2). 

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The September 26, 2006, findings and recommendations are vacated.

Rehabilitation filed concurrently herewith.

4. Plaintiff has thirty days from the date this order is served in which to file an amended

complaint pursuant to the court’s August 2, 2006, order. Failure to timely file an amended

complaint will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
