No. 1:17-cv-04422-TWP-MJD

Entry Granting In Forma Pauperis Status
And Directing Payment of Initial Partial Filing Fee
Plaintiff John Naylor’s renewed motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, dkt. [9], is
granted. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1)(A), an initial partial filing fee of seventeen dollars
and eleven cents ($17.11) is assessed and shall be paid to the clerk of the district court no later
than January 18, 2018. Nevertheless, plaintiff owes the entire filing fee. “All [28 U.S.C.] § 1915
has ever done is excuse pre-payment of the docket fees; a litigant remains liable for them, and for
other costs, although poverty may make collection impossible.” Abdul-Wadood v. Nathan, 91 F.3d
1023, 1025 (7th Cir. 1996).
Screening of the complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A will occur after payment of the
initial partial filing fee is received.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
