FROSTER

DEFENDANT
ORDER

Plaintiff Richard Block filed a pro se complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983
on December 12, 2024, while incarcerated at the Arkansas Division of Correction’s
North Central Unit (Doc. No. 2). Block has now filed a complete IFP application
(Doc. No. 5). The Court grants Block’s IFP application and does not assess an initial
partial filing fee. Block will be obligated to make monthly payments in the amount
of twenty percent (20%) of the preceding month’s income credited to his prison trust
account each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00. Block’s custodian is
requested to send the Clerk of the Court monthly payments from his prison trust
account when the amount exceeds $10.00, until the $350 statutory filing fee is paid
in full. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2). The payments also must be clearly identified by the
name and number assigned to this action. The Clerk of Court is directed to send a
copy of this order to the Warden of the North Central Unit, the ADC Trust Fund
Centralization Bank Office, and the ADC Compliance Office.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 6th day of January, 2025.
