Plaintiff,
v.
NIKKIE FORD,
Defendant.

No. 2:17-CV-7 NCC

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Plaintiff, a prisoner, seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis in this civil action under
state law for breach of fiduciary duty. Having reviewed plaintiff’s financial information, the
Court assesses a partial initial filing fee of $21, which is twenty percent of his average monthly
deposit. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b).
Prisoners must pay the full amount of the $350 filing fee. After payment of the initial
partial filing fee, the prisoner is required to make monthly payments of 20 percent of the
preceding month’s income credited to the prisoner’s account. The agency having custody of the
prisoner will deduct the payments and forward them to the Court each time the amount in the
account exceeds $10. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc.
No. 2] is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Plaintiff must pay an initial filing fee of $21
within twenty-one (21) days of the date of this Order. Plaintiff is instructed to make his
remittance payable to “Clerk, United States District Court,” and to include upon it: (1) his name;

(2) his prison registration number; (3) the case number; and (4) that the remittance is for an
original proceeding.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if Plaintiff fails to comply with this Order, the Court
will dismiss this action without further proceedings.
Dated this 8th day of February, 2017.
