Plaintiff Jason Allan Singer, proceeding pro se while incarcerated in California Substance
Abuse Treatment Facility in Corcoran, California, has filed a complaint in this action along with
an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (ECF Nos. 1, 2.)
Plaintiff has made the requisite showing under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Accordingly, his
application to proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED. However, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
1915(b)(1), Plaintiff remains obligated to pay the statutory filing fee of $350.00 for this action
when funds exist in his inmate trust account. Accordingly, Plaintiff shall make monthly payments
in the amount of twenty percent (20%) of the preceding month’s income credited to his trust
account. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2). The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, or
its designee, is required to send payments from Plaintiff’s trust account to the Clerk of the Court
each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00 until the statutory filing fee is paid in full. 28
