1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRISONER'S IN FORMA PAUPERIS APPLICATION 3 4 6 You must submit to the court a completed Prisoner's In Forma Pauperis Application if you are unable to pay the entire filing fee at the time you file your complaint or petition. Your application must include copies of the prisoner trust account statement showing transactions for the last six months and a certificate of funds in prisoner's account, signed by an authorized officer of the institution. 7 A. 8 Effective April 9, 2006, the filing fee for any civil action other than a habeas is $350.00. Even if you are granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis, you must still pay the full amount of the court's filing fee, but the fee will be paid in several installments. 28 U.S.C. § 1915. 5 9 Non-habeas Civil Actions 10 11 12 13 You must pay an initial partial filing fee of 20 percent of the greater of (a) the average monthly deposits to your account for the 6-month period immediately before the complaint was filed or (b) the average monthly balance in your account for the 6-month period immediately before the complaint was filed. The court will use the information provided on the certificate of funds and the trust account statement to determine the filing fee immediately due and will send instructions to you and the prison trust account office for payment if in forma pauperis status is granted. 14 15 16 After the initial partial filing fee is paid, your prison's trust account office will forward to the court each month 20 percent of the most recent month's income to your prison trust account, to the extent the account balance exceeds ten dollars ($10.00). Monthly payments will be required until the full filing fee is paid. If you have no funds over ten dollars ($10.00) in your account, you will not be required to pay part of the filing fee that month. 17 18 19 If your application to proceed in forma pauperis is granted, you will be liable for the full $350.00 filing fee even if your civil action is dismissed. That means the court will continue to collect payments until the entire filing fee is paid. However, if you do not submit this completed application the action will be dismissed without prejudice and the filing fee will not be collected. 20 B. Habeas Actions 21 22 23 The filing fee for a habeas action is $5.00. If you are granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis you will not be required to pay any portion of this fee. If you are not granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis you must pay the fee in one payment and not in installments. If you use a habeas form to file a non-habeas civil action, you will be required to pay the $350.00 filing fee applicable to all non-habeas civil actions. 24 25 26 27 28 IFP APPLI.-PRISONER (Rev. 2/05) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 9 ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) 10 11 Plaintiff, 12 vs. 13 14 Defendant.
