No. 4:15CV728 RWS

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Plaintiff moves for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. He is
unable to produce a copy of his prison account statement, so the Court will assess
an initial partial filing fee of $1.00. See Henderson v. Norris, 129 F.3d 481, 484
(8th Cir. 1997) (when a prisoner is unable to provide the Court with a certified
copy of his prison account statement, the Court should assess an amount “that is
reasonable, based on whatever information the court has about the prisoner=s
finances.”).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma
pauperis on appeal [ECF No. 5] is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the plaintiff shall pay an initial filing fee
of $1.00 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 plaintiff’s motion to compel [ECF No.
6] is MOOT.
Dated this 18th day of May, 2015.
