CIVIL ACTION

NO. 18-2115

ORDER
NOW, this 20th day of June, 2018, upon consideration of Earnest Scott, Jr.’s
Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Document No. 1), the Prisoner Trust Fund
Account Statement (Document No. 3), his pro se Complaint (Document No. 2), and his
pro se Amended Complaints (Document Nos. 5 and 6) it is ORDERED that:
1.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, leave to proceed in forma pauperis is

GRANTED;
2.

Earnest Scott, Jr., #ND-3773, shall pay the full filing fee of $350 in

installments, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b).

Based on the financial information

provided by Scott, an initial partial filing fee of $7.63 is assessed. The Superintendent
or other appropriate official at SCI-Mahanoy or any other prison at which Scott may be
incarcerated is directed to deduct $7.63 from Scott’s inmate trust fund account when
such funds become available, and forward that amount to the Clerk of the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, 601 Market Street, Room 2609,
Philadelphia, PA 19106, to be credited to Civil Action No. 18-2115.

In each

succeeding month when the amount in Scott’s inmate trust fund account exceeds
$10.00, the Superintendent or other appropriate official shall forward payments to the
Clerk of Court equaling 20% of the preceding month’s income credited to Scott’s inmate

trust fund account until the fees are paid. Each payment shall reference the docket
number for this case, Civil Action No. 18-2115;
3.

The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to send a copy of this Order to the

Superintendent of SCI-Mahanoy; and,
4.

The Amended Complaint is DISMISSED, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

1915(e)(2)(B)(ii), for failure to state a claim.
