INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAYMENT OF PRISONER’S FILING FEE
The prisoner shown as the plaintiff or petitioner on the attached order has filed a civil action in
forma pauperis in this court and owes to the court a filing fee. Pursuant to 28 US.C. § 1915, the
fee is to be paid as follows:
The initial partial filing fee listed on the attached order should be deducted by the prison trust
account office from the prisoner’s trust account and forwarded to the clerk of the court as the first
installment payment on the filing fee. This amount is twenty percent of the greater of (a) the
average monthly deposits to the prisoner’s account for the 6-month period immediately preceding
the filing of the complaint/petition or (b) the average monthly balance in the prisoner’s account for
the 6-month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint/petition.
Thereafter, on a monthly basis, 20 percent of the preceding month’s income credited to the
prisoner’s trust account should be deducted and forwarded to the court each time the amount in the
account exceeds ten dollars ($10.00). The prison trust account office should continue to do this
until the filing fee has been paid in full.
If the prisoner does not have sufficient funds in his/her account to pay the initial partial filing fee,
the prison trust account office should forward the available funds, and carry the balance forward
each month until the amount is fully paid.
If the prisoner has filed more than one complaint, (s)he is required to pay a filing fee for each case.
The trust account office should make the monthly calculations and payments for each case in
which it receives an order granting in forma pauperis and these instructions.
The prisoner’s name and case number must be noted on each remittance. The initial partial
filing fee is due within thirty days of the date of the attached order. Checks should be made
payable to Clerk, U.S. District Court and sent to Prisoner Accounts Receivable, U.S. District
Court, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, Box 36060, San Francisco, CA 94102.
