The Court waives the initial partial filing fee but authorizes and orders the trust fund officer at Plaintiff's place of incarceration to begin making monthly deductions in accordance with this order for payment to the Clerk of Court toward the $350.00 statutory filing fee. Plaintiff's trust fund officer must collect 100% of all income into his trust account until accrued filing fees are paid. The Court directs the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Court's Fiscal Department, and to the trust account office at Plaintiff's place of confinement. Summonses shall not issue at this time, however. The Court dismisses without prejudice the complaint on file #1 but grants Plaintiff the opportunity to submit an amended complaint if he believes he can state facts to support a federal cause of action against any Defendant.
