Civil Action No. 07-cv-00398-BNB-CBS.
September 20, 2007
ORDER
This matter is before me on the plaintiff's Motion to Order Payment to the Court [Doc. #37, filed 9/4/07] (the "Motion"). The plaintiff requests that the Court order the Colorado Department of Corrections to make his monthly filing fee payments out of his inmate account. The Motion is DENIED.
Under the specific language of the Court's Order granting leave to proceed under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 [Doc. #2, issued 2/27/07], the responsibility for ensuring that monthly filing payments are made, or demonstrating why such a payment cannot be made, remains with the plaintiff. This is the standard practice of the United States District Court for the District of Colorado in all prisoner cases. Accordingly, the plaintiff must monitor his own financial resources and work within the applicable rules and regulations existing at the facility where he is incarcerated to ensure that his monthly filing fee obligations are met. Plaintiff must make the required monthly payments or show cause each month why he has no assets and no means by which to make the monthly payment. Failure to comply with this requirement, under § 1915(b)(2), may result in dismissal of this action.
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED.
