Court pro se a Prisoner Complaint, ECF No. 1, and a Prisoner=s Motion and Affidavit for
Leave to Proceed Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ' 1915, ECF No. 6. The Prisoner=s Motion and
Affidavit for Leave to Proceed Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ' 1915 will be granted. Based on
the information about Plaintiff=s financial status, the Court finds that Plaintiff is able to pay
an initial partial filing fee of $21.00 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ' 1915(b)(1). Plaintiff has
consented to disbursement of partial payments of the filing fee from his prison account.
See ECF No. 6 at 3. Plaintiff is required to pay the full amount of the required $350.00
filing fee pursuant to ' 1915(b)(1) regardless of the outcome of this action. Accordingly,
it is

ORDERED that the Prisoner=s Motion and Affidavit for Leave to Proceed Pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. ' 1915, ECF No. 6, is granted. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that within thirty days of the date of this Order Plaintiff=s
custodian shall disburse from Plaintiff=s prison account an initial partial filing fee of $21.00
to the Clerk of the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, which
represents 20 percent of the greater of the (1) average monthly deposits, or (2) average
monthly balance in Plaintiff=s prison accounts for the six-month period immediately
preceding the filing of the complaint. See 28 U.S.C. ' 1915(b). It is

the preceding month=s income credited to his prison account until Plaintiff has paid the
total filing fee of $350.00. See 28 U.S.C. ' 1915(b)(2). Interference by Plaintiff in the
submission of these funds will result in the dismissal of this action. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff is advised that notwithstanding any filing fee,
or any portion thereof, that may have been paid, the Court shall dismiss at any time all or
any part of such complaint which (1) is frivolous or malicious; (2) fails to state a claim on
which relief can be granted; or (3) seeks monetary relief from a defendant who is immune
from such relief. See 28 U.S.C. ' 1915(A)(b); 28 U.S.C. ' 1915(e)(2). It is
