Robert V. Towle
v.

Civil No. 13-cv-106-PB

Peter H. Bornstein, et al.
ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO PROCEED
IN FORMA PAUPERIS
The plaintiff, an inmate at the New Hampshire State Prison (“Institution”), has filed a
motion to proceed in forma pauperis in the above-captioned case, which is accompanied by a
certificate signed by an authorized individual from the Coos County Department of Corrections.
The certificate evidences that over the last six months, the plaintiff’s average deposits have been $0
and the plaintiff’s average monthly balance has been $0. Plaintiff has also submitted a signed
consent form indicating consent to permit inmate accounts to make court-ordered payments on his
behalf.
The motion to proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED. While 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1)
requires the court assess an initial filing fee, given the plaintiff’s current balance is $0 there shall be
no initial filing fee assessed. Going forward, however, the plaintiff shall be responsible for
monthly payments of 20% of each preceding month’s income credited to his account, which 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 monthly payments as outlined above shall be forwarded to the Clerk of Court by the
Institution in accordance with this Order. A copy of this Order, along with a copy of the signed

Prisoner Consent Form (doc. no. 7), shall be forwarded by the Court to the Institutions inmate
account department.
SO ORDERED.
