MINUTES OF THE COURT

THE HONORABLE VALERIE P. COOKE, U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE

DEPUTY CLERK:

LISA MANN

REPORTER: NONE APPEARING

COUNSEL FOR PETITIONER(S): NONE APPEARING
COUNSEL FOR RESPONDENT(S): NONE APPEARING
MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
Plaintiff’s application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis was granted (#5). Based
upon the financial certificate attached to his application, he was ordered to pay an initial
installment of the filing fee in the amount of $14.81. Id. Plaintiff is now requesting that this
court waive the initial installment of the filing fee (#6) because he is already burdened by paying
filing fees for other cases. Plaintiff’s request (#6) is DENIED.
28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1) requires the court to “assess and, when funds exist, collect, as a
partial payment of any court fees required by law, an initial partial filing fee of 20 percent . . . .”
The plaintiff, by signing the financial certificate, acknowledged his understanding that “before he
will be allowed to proceed with an action [he] will be required be to pay 20% of [his] average
monthly balance, or the average monthly deposits to his account, whichever is greater . . . .” (#1).
On or before Friday, November 16, 2012, plaintiff must pay an initial installment of the
filing fee in the amount of $14.81. Plaintiff’s failure to do so may result in the immediate
dismissal of this action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
