NO. 5:12-CV-171(MTT)

ORDER
Plaintiff MICHAEL DION EBERHART, has filed a motion to proceed in forma
pauperis on appeal (ECF No. 8) from the Court=s May 18, 2012 Order dismissing his
complaint. (ECF No. 4). In the Court=s best judgment, an appeal from that Order cannot
be taken in good faith. 28 U.S.C. ' 1915(a)(3).
Having been carefully considered, Plaintiff=s motion to proceed in forma pauperis
on appeal is hereby DENIED.
If Plaintiff wishes to proceed with his appeal, he must pay the entire $455.00
appellate filing fee. Because Plaintiff has stated that he cannot pay the $455.00
immediately, he must pay using the partial payment plan described under 28 U.S.C.
' 1915(b). Pursuant to '1915(b), the prison account custodian where Plaintiff is
incarcerated shall cause to be remitted to the Clerk of this Court monthly payments of
20% of the preceding month=s income credited to Plaintiff=s account until the $455.00
appellate filing fee has been paid in full. Twenty percent of any deposits into the
prisoner=s account shall be withheld by the prison account custodian who, on a monthly
basis, shall forward the amount withheld from the prisoner=s account to the Clerk of this

Court each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00 until the total filing fee of
$455.00 has been paid. Checks should be made payable to AClerk, U.S. District Court.@
The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to mail a copy of this Order to the custodian of the
prison in which Plaintiff is incarcerated.
SO ORDERED AND DIRECTED this 20th day of June, 2012.

S/ Marc T. Treadwell

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
