ORDER
Plaintiff, who is currently incarcerated at the Greene County Detention Facility ("GCDF"), has commenced this pro se § 1983 action. On August 22, 2006, the Court granted Plaintiff permission to proceed in forma pauperis, assessed an initial partial filing fee of $14.16, and instructed the GCDF to collect the balance of the $350 filing fee by "collecting monthly payments equal to 20% of the preceding month's income credited to Plaintiff's account each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00." See docket entry #7 at 2. The Court is currently in the process of serving Defendants. See docket entries #17 and #18.
On September 22, 2006, Plaintiff sent the Court a letter stating the GCDF is deducting all of the money in his account (in violation of the Court's August 22, 2006 Order) and refusing to provide him with free toiletries. See docket entry #19. The Court will instruct the Clerk to file a copy of that letter as a Motion, and give Defendants an opportunity to respond thereto.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:
1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to file a copy of Plaintiff's September 22, 2006 letter (docket entry #19) as Plaintiff's Motion for Return of Funds.
2. Defendants shall file a Response to that Motion within eleven days of filing their Answer.
