the initial partial payment in his regular account, he will have to arrange with prison au th orities to pay some or all of the assessment from his release account. This does not m ean that petitioner is free to ask prison authorities to pay all of his filing fee from his release account. The only amount petitioner must pay at this time is the $39.98 initial partial payment. Before prison officials take any portion of that amount from petitioner's release account, they may first take from petitioner's regular account whatever amount up to the full amount petitioner owes.

OR DER IT IS ORDERED that petitioner is assessed $39.98 as an initial partial payment of the $350 fee for filing this case. He is to submit a check or money order made payable to the clerk of court in the amount of $39.98 on or before November 13, 2007. If, by N o vem b er 13, 2007, petitioner fails to make the initial partial payment or show cause for his failure to do so, he will be held to have withdrawn this action voluntarily. In that event, the clerk of court is directed to close this file without prejudice to petitioner's filing his case
