NO. 1:07-CV-9 (WLS)
PROCEEDINGS UNDER 42 U.S.C. § 1983 BEFORE THE U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE
ORDER
On January 9, 2007, plaintiff THOMAS WAYNE GRIFFIN filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis in order to bring a pro se civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order dated January 19, 2007, this Court instructed plaintiff to submit the Court an account summary providing current information on his financial status and prison account. Plaintiff has timely returned the form, an examination of which reveals that he is unable to pay the cost of commencing this action. Accordingly, plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis is hereby GRANTED. However, even if a prisoner is allowed to proceed in forma pauperis, he must nevertheless pay the full amount of the $350.00 filing fee in installments based on funds in the prisoner's account. As stated above, plaintiff is unable to pay the entire $350.00 filing fee at this time. However, plaintiff does have sufficient funds in his prison account to pay a portion of this amount. Therefore, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1)(A), it is hereby ORDERED that plaintiff's complaint be filed and that plaintiff pay an initial partial filing fee of $14.83 to the Clerk of this Court. Plaintiff shall have thirty (30) days from the date of his receipt of this order to pay the required initial partial filing fee to the Clerk of the Court. Failure to comply with this order shall result in the dismissal of plaintiff's complaint. There shall be no service in this case until further order of the court.
