K E N T LEPAK and S T EV EN S POINT POLICE DEPARTMENT, R espo nd ents. --------------------------------------------Petitioner Robert Tessen has responded to the September 25, 2008 order by subm itting a copy of his six-month trust fund account statement so that I can assess an initial partial payment of the $350 fee for filing this case. From the statement, I have calculated petitioner's initial partial payment to be $.87. If petitioner does not have the m on ey to make the initial partial payment in his regular account, he will have to arrange w ith prison authorities to pay some or all of the assessment from his release account.
