Petitioner is reminded that once he pays the amount I have determined he is able to p rep ay, that is just the first step in obtaining leave to proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U .S.C . § 1915. After the court receives petitioner's $23.15 payment, I will take his

co m p lain t under advisement for a determination under § 1915(e)(2) whether the action or an y portion of it must be dismissed as frivolous or malicious, for failure to state a claim on w h ich relief may be granted or because petitioner seeks monetary relief against a defendant w ho is immune from such relief.

ORDER IT IS ORDERED that petitioner qualifies financially for pauper status on the con dition that he prepay $23.15 of the $350 filing fee. He is to submit a check or money ord er made payable to the clerk of court in that amount on or before October 14, 2008. If, by October 14, 2008, petitioner fails to prepay the amount he has been ordered to pay, I will dism iss this case for his failure to prosecute. E n tered this 24 t h day of September, 2008.
