An initial partial filing fee is hereby ASSESSED in the amount of $40.56. In the event Plaintiff elects to proceed with this matter and so notifies the Court, the initial partial filing fee shall be forwarded by the institution as soon as funds are available.

If the Court does dismiss the action under this section , Plaintiff will still be required to pay the filing fee in M.
