NUNC PRO TUNC ORDER CORRECTING FILING FEE
KAREN E. SCHREIER, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
Plaintiff, William Cody, an inmate at the South Dakota State Penitentiary, filed a pro se civil rights lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Docket 1. Cody filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and this court granted Cody's motion and required him to pay an initial partial filing fee. Dockets 2, 7. In that order, this court directed the institution having custody of Cody to forward monthly payments until the $402 filing fee is paid in full. Docket 7 at 3. Under the District Court Miscellaneous Fee Schedule issued in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1914, the $52 administrative portion of this fee does not apply to persons granted in forma pauperis status. See District Court Miscellaneous Fee Schedule, https://www.uscourts.gov/services-forms/fees/district-court-miscellaneous-fee-schedule (last visited May 25, 2022). Cody's full filing fee is $350.
Thus, it is ORDERED
1. That Cody's filing fee, to be paid monthly as per this Court's instructions in its order granting Cody's motion to proceed in forma pauperis, is $350.
