subm itted a certified copy of his six-month trust fund account statement so that a determ ination may be made whether he is indigent for the purpose of proceeding on appeal in forma pauperis and if he is, what amounts must be assessed under the 1996 Prison Litigation Reform Act as initial partial payments of the fees for filing his appeals. (In the Ju ne 22 and June 24 orders, I found that plaintiff's appeals are not taken in bad faith and th at plaintiff is not barred by the three strikes provision of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) from pro ceeding with his appeal in forma pauperis.) From plaintiff's trust fund account statement, I conclude that he qualifies for indigent statu s. Further, I assess plaintiff an initial partial payment in each case in the amount of $7 .84 . Plaintiff should show a copy of this order to prison officials to make sure that they are aware they should send plaintiff's initial partial payments to this court.

OR DER IT IS ORDERED that 1. P lain tiff Darrick Jordan's requests for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on app eal is GRANTED. 2 Plaintiff is assessed $7.84 as an initial payment of the $455 appeal filing fee in C ase No. 08-cv-210-bbc. He is to submit a check or money order made payable to the clerk of court in the amount of $7.84 on or before July 28, 2010.

4.

If, by July 28, 2010, plaintiff fails to pay the initial partial payments or explain his failure to do so, then I will advise the court of appeals of his noncom pliance in paying the assessments so that it may take whatever steps it deems appropriate with respect to his appeals.

5.

The clerk of court is requested to insure that the court's financial records reflect plaintiff's obligation to pay the $7.84 initial partial payments and the rem ain der of the $455 fee for each appeal in monthly installments according to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2).
