UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ZACHARY MORGAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

KOWALCZYK,

Defendant.

Case No. 2:23-cv-02990-JDP (PC)

ORDER FOR PAYMENT OF INMATE 

FILING FEE

To: The Sheriff of El Dorado County, Attention: Inmate Trust Account, 300 Fair Lane,

Placerville, California 95667:

Plaintiff, a county jail inmate 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 El Dorado County Sheriff is 

required to send to the Clerk of the Court the initial partial filing fee and thereafter payments from 

plaintiff’s inmate 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).
