The prisoner shown as the Plaintiff or Petitioner on the attached
Order has filed a civil action in forma pauperis in this Court and
owes to the Court a filing fee. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, the
fee is to be paid as follows:

7

The initial partial filing fee listed on the attached Order
should be deducted by the prison trust account office from
the prisoner’s trust account and forwarded to the Clerk of
the Court as the first installment payment on the filing fee.
This amount is twenty percent of the greater of (a) the
average monthly deposits to the prisoner’s account for the
six-month period immediately preceding the filing of the
Complaint/Petition or (b) the average monthly balance in the
prisoner’s account for the six-month period immediately
preceding the filing of the Complaint/Petition.

Thereafter, on a monthly basis, 20 percent of the preceding
month’s income credited to the prisoner’s trust account
should be deducted and forwarded to the Court each time the
amount in the account exceeds ten dollars ($10.00). The
prison trust account office should continue to do this until
the filing fee has been paid in full.

If the prisoner does not have sufficient funds in his/her account
to pay the initial partial filing fee, the prison trust account
office should forward the available funds, and carry the balance
forward each month until the amount is fully paid.
If the prisoner has filed more than one Complaint, (s)he is
required to pay a filing fee for each case. The trust account
office should make the monthly calculations and payments for each
case in which it receives an order granting in forma pauperis and
these instructions.

24

The prisoner’s name and case number must be noted on each
remittance. The initial partial filing fee is due within thirty
days of the date of the attached Order. Checks should be made
payable to Clerk, U.S. District Court and sent to Prisoner
Accounts Receivable, U.S. District Court, 450 Golden Gate Avenue,
Box 36060, San Francisco, CA 94102.
