MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Plaintiff, a prisoner, seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis in this civil action under
Bivens v. Six Unknown Agents. Having reviewed plaintiff’s financial information, the Court
assesses a partial initial filing fee of $15.00, which is twenty percent of his average monthly
deposit. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b).
Plaintiff is imprisoned in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. He alleges that he has been abused
by prison staff there.
Under 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b), venue lies in the district where defendants are located. Title
28 U.S.C. § 1406 states that the Court may dismiss an action if venue is not proper. As a result,
this action is dismissed.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the plaintiff must pay an initial filing fee of $15.00
within thirty (30) 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 this action is DISMISSED.
An Order of Dismissal will be filed separately.
Dated this 2nd day of July, 2015.
