CURTIS HIGHTOWER, PLAINTIFF,v.W. PATTON, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
Plaintiff Curtis Hightower is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. Plaintiff seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C § 1983 and has requested leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. His application was submitted on September 8, 2009, in response to an earlier order of this Court dated August 17, 2009.
Reviewing the IFP application of September 8, 2009, Plaintiff has submitted a declaration that makes the showing required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Accordingly, Plaintiff's request to proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED. Plaintiff is required to pay the statutory filling fee of $350.00 for this action. 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(b)(1). When, as here, Plaintiff has insufficient funds available in his prison trust account, the court does not assess an initial partial filing fee. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). Plaintiff is obligated, however, to make monthly payments of twenty percent of the preceding month's income credited to Plaintiff's prison trust account. These payments shall be collected and 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).
2. Plaintiff is obligated to pay the statutory filing fee of $350.00 for this action. The Director of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation or a designee (the Warden of the Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility, where Plaintiff is presently housed) shall collect from Plaintiff's prison account monthly payments in an amount equal to twenty percent of the preceding month's income credited to Plaintiff's prison account and shall forward those payments to the Clerk of Court each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00 in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2) until a total of $350.00 has been collected and forwarded to the Clerk of Court. THE PAYMENTS SHALL BE CLEARLY IDENTIFIED BY THE NAME AND NUMBER ASSIGNED TO THIS ACTION.
3. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to serve a copy of this Order on Plaintiff and on the Warden at the Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility, 415 U.S. Highway 49 North, Tutwiler, Mississippi 38963.
