Date Filed Document Text
April 2, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 5 Order on In Forma Pauperis Status - The plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis, dkt. #2 , is granted. Although the plaintiff is excused from pre-paying the full filing fee, he still must pay the three hundred and fifty dollar ($350.00) filing fee pursuant to the statutory formula set forth in 28 U.S.C. 1915(b)(2) when able. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(b)(1) ("the prisoner shall be required to pay the full amount of a filing fee."). The assessment of even an initial partial filing fee is waived because the plaintiff has no assets and no means by which to pay a partial filing fee. 28 U.S.C. 1915(b)(4). Accordingly, no initial partial filing fee is due at this time. (Copy to Plaintiff via U.S. mail) Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 4/2/2021. (JDC)
