4. In evaluating the plaintiff’s account information,
the Court has determined that the plaintiff has an average
account balance of $l8.99 for the six months preceding the filing
of the complaint. The plaintiff’s average monthly deposit is
$50.00 for the six months preceding the filing of the complaint.
Accordingly, the plaintiff is required to pay an initial partial
filing fee of $l0.00, this amount being 20 percent (20%) of
$50.00, the greater of his average monthly deposit and average
daily balance in the trust fund account for the six months
preceding the filing of the complaint. Therefore, the plaintiff
shall, within thirty days from the date this order is sent,
complete and return the attached authorization form allowing the
agency having custody of him to forward the $10.00 initial
partial filing fee and subsequent payments to the Clerk of the
Court. FAILURE OF THE PLAINTIFF TO RETURN THE AUTHORIZATION FORM
WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THIS ORDER IS SENT SHALL RESULT IN

RELIEF.

5. Upon receipt of this order and the authorization
form, the Warden or other appropriate official at Sussex
Correctional Institution, or at any prison at which the plaintiff
is or may be incarcerated, shall be required to deduct the $l0.00
initial partial filing fee from the plaintiff’s trust account,
when such funds become available, and forward that amount to the
Clerk of the Court. Thereafter, absent further order of the
Court, each time that the balance in plaintiff's trust account
exceeds $10.00, the Warden or other appropriate official at
Sussex Correctional Institution, or at any prison at which the
plaintiff is or may be incarcerated, shall be required to make
monthly payments of 20 percent (20%) of the preceding month's
income credited to the plaintiff's trust account and forward that
amount to the Clerk of the Court.
6. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § l9l5(g), if the plaintiff
has had three or more actions dismissed by the Court on the
grounds that they were frivolous, malicious, or failed to state a
claim upon which relief may be granted, the Court shall deny the
plaintiff leave to proceed in forma pauperis in all future suits
filed without prepayment of the filing fee, unless the Court
determines that the plaintiff is under imminent danger of serious
physical injury.
