Plaintiff,
v.
RICKY HAYS, et al.,
Defendants,

No. 2:15CV13 CDP

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before me for calculation of plaintiff’s initial partial filing fee. Plaintiff
previously claimed to have a financial hardship, and the Court did not require him to pay the
initial filing fee at the beginning of this case. He has submitted a recent account statement,
which shows that he has an average monthly deposit of $89. Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b), he is
required to pay an initial partial filing fee of $18. Plaintiff’s account statement shows that he
spends his money on discretionary items at the canteen. He is not suffering a financial hardship.
So, if he does not timely pay the initial filing fee, I will dismiss this action without further
proceedings.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff must pay an initial partial filing fee of $18 no
later than September 1, 2015. No extensions will be granted.
Dated this 11th day of August, 2015.

CATHERINE D. PERRY
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
