September 14, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 9 Order - Granting Plaintiff's #8 Motion to Reconsider Initial Partial Filing Fee Assessment. Although the records initially presented to the Court suggested that Plaintiff had the ability to pay an initial partial filing fee, the Court credits his current representations in his motion that, in reality, he cannot. The Court therefore finds that Plaintiff does not have the assets or means to pay the initial partial filing fee originally assessed and Plaintiff's motion to reconsider, dkt #8 , is granted. Although Plaintiff is excused from pre-paying the full filing fee, he still must pay the three hundred and fifty ($350.00) filing fee pursuant to the statutory formula set forth in 28 U.S.C. 1915(b)(2) when able. Copy to Plaintiff and CC to Finance. Signed by Judge Tanya Walton Pratt on 9/14/2020. (NAD)
