I previously granted Trevino in forma pauperis status. Accordingly, Trevino is eligible to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis and I grant him leave to do so. See FED. R. APP. P. 24. Pursuant to the procedure set forth by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in Henderson v. Norris, 129 F.3d 481, 484-85 (8th Cir. 1997), Trevino is liable for the $505.00 appeal fees upon the filing of his notice of appeal. Henderson, 129 F.3d at 484; see also 28 U.S.C. § 1914(b) (directing Clerk of Court to collect “additional fees only as are prescribed by the Judicial Conference of the United States”). Given the record, Trevino is assessed an initial appellate partial fee of $5.00, which he is directed to submit immediately to the clerk’s office. See Henderson, 129 F.3d at 484-85; see also 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). In addition, Trevino is directed to submit monthly payments of 20 percent of the preceding month’s income credited to his inmate account until the $505.00 appeal fees are paid in full. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2). The agency having custody of Trevino is directed to forward payments from his inmate account to the clerk’s office each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2). The clerk’s office is directed to send a copy of this order and the notice of collection of filing fee to the appropriate official at the place where the plaintiff is an inmate. The clerk’s office is directed to forward this matter to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals for further disposition. IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED this 8th day of June, 2015. __________________________________ MARK W. BENNETT U. S.
