                        ON MOTION
                    ______________________

                           ORDER
     David Hover moves for leave to proceed in forma pau-
 peris.
     Hover is incarcerated. Pursuant to the Prisoner Liti-
 gation Reform Act of 1995, this court may not authorize
 the prosecution of an appeal by a prisoner without the
 prepayment of fees. 28 U.S.C. § 1915. A prisoner is no
 longer afforded the alternative of proceeding without

 payment of filing fees, but must, in time, pay the $505
 filing fee in its entirety. When funds exist, an initial
 partial payment must be made consisting of 20% of the
 greater of (a) the average monthly deposits to the prison-
 er’s account or (b) the average monthly balance in the
 prisoner’s account for the six-month period immediately
 preceding the filing of the notice of appeal. 28 U.S.C. §
 1915(b)(1). Thereafter, the prisoner is required to make
 monthly payments of 20% of the preceding month’s in-
 come credited to the prisoner’s account. 28 U.S.C. §
 1915(b)(2). The agency with custody of the prisoner must
 forward payments from the prisoner’s account each time
 the amount in the account exceeds $10 until the $505
 filing fee is paid in full. Id.
    By separate letter, the custodian of Hover’s prison ac-
 count is being directed to make the necessary arrange-
 ments to forward the filing fee to the court.
       Accordingly,
       IT IS ORDERED THAT:
       The motion is denied.
