assets with which to prepay the filing fee; and (2) a certified

fee of 20 percent (20%) of the greater 0f his average monthly
deposit or average monthly balance in the trust fund account.
4. In evaluating the plaintiff’s account information,
the Court has determined that the plaintiff has an average
account balance of $1.36 for the six months preceding the filing
of the complaint. The plaintiff’s average monthly deposit is
$6.81 for the six months preceding the filing of the complaint.
Accordingly, the plaintiff is required to pay an initial partial
filing fee of $1.36, this amount being 20 percent (20%) of $6.81,
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 $1.36 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 DISMISSAL OF
THIS ACTION WITHOUT PREJUDICE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PAYMENT MADE
OR REQUIRED, THE COURT SHALL DISMISS THE CASE IF THE COURT
DETERMINES THAT THE ACTION IS FRIVOLOUS OR MALICIOUS, FAILS TO
STATE A CLAIM UPON WHICH RELIEF MAY BE GRANTED, OR SEEKS MDNETARY
RELIEF AGAINST A DEFENDANT WHO IS IMMUNE FROM SUCH RELIEF.

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 fgrmg pauperis in all future suits p
filed without prepayment of the filing fee, unless the Court
determines that the plaintiff is under imminent danger of serious
physical injury.
