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
7

the greater of (a) the average monthly deposits to the prisoner's account for the 6-month

period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint/petition or (b) the average
monthly balance in the prisoner's account for the 6-month period immediately preceding
