The initial partial filing fee 2 should be forwarded to the court clerk as soon as practicable. 3 Subsequently, if the prisoner’s account exceeds $10.00, each month the agency having 4 custody of the prisoner is directed to collect and forward payments equal to 20 percent of the 5 prisoner’s preceding month’s income credited to the prisoner’s account.
