ORDER

To: The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation

1515 S Street, Sacramento, California 95814:

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, is obligated to pay the full statutory filing fee for this action. In addition to any initial partial filing fee that has been assessed, plaintiff will be obligated to make monthly payments in the amount of twenty percent of the preceding month's income credited to plaintiff's inmate trust account. The agency referenced above is required to send to the Clerk of the Court the initial partial filing fee and thereafter payments from plaintiff's inmate trust account each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00, until the statutory filing fee of $350.00 is paid in full. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2).

Good cause appearing therefor, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. If an initial partial filing fee has been assessed by the accompanying order granting in forma pauperis status, the director of the agency referenced above, or a designee, shall collect from plaintiff's prison trust account the amount specified and forward the amount to the Clerk of the Court, such payment to be clearly identified by the name and number assigned to this action;

2. The director of the agency referenced above, or a designee, shall collect from plaintiff's prison trust account the balance of the filing fee by collecting monthly payments from plaintiff's inmate trust account in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the preceding month's income credited to the prisoner's inmate trust account and forwarding payments to the Clerk of the Court each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00 in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2), such payments to be clearly identified by the name and number assigned to this action;

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of this order, a copy of the court's order granting in forma pauperis status, and a copy of plaintiff's signed in forma pauperis affidavit to the address shown above; and

4. The Clerk of the Court is further directed to serve a copy of this order on the Financial Department of the court.
