State Prison (“Institution”), has filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis in the above-captioned case, and a certificate signed by an authorized individual from the Institution. The certificate evidences that over the last six months, the plaintiff’s average deposits have been $169.13 and the plaintiff’s average monthly balance has been $17.73.

Going forward, however, the plaintiff shall be responsible for monthly payments of 20% each preceding month’s income credited to the plaintiff’s account shall be remitted by the Institution when the amount in the account exceeds $10.00 until the sum of $350.00 has been paid. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2). The initial partial filing fee, and monthly payments thereafter as outlined above, shall be forwarded to the Clerk of Court by the Institution in accordance with this Order.
