ENDORSEMENT: In the attached letter dated December 3, 2018, plaintiff, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, requests for the second time the Court reduce the amount taken from plaintiff's prisoner's account to pay the filing fees for this action. Plaintiff's application is DENIED. As the Court explained in its Order dated November 28, 2018, the Court has no power to lower the fee amounts prescribed by statute. (Doc. #10). The Court will not respond to any additional requests for a reduction from plaintiff. In the future, plaintiff shall not submit any documents or other communications directly to Judge Briccetti's chambers. All submissions shall be sent to the Pro Se Clerk at: Pro Se Clerk, United States District Court, 300 Quarropas Street, White Plains, New York 10601. The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this Order to plaintiff at the address on the docket. The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal.

November 28, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 10 ORDER: Plaintiff's application is DENIED. A prisoner bringing a civil action is required to pay the full $350 filing fee even when proceeding in forma pauperis, that is, without prepayment of fees. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(b)(1). The Court must collect, when funds exist in a prisoner's account, an initial partial filing fee plus monthly payments. The agency having custody of the prisoner shall forward payments from the prisoner's account to the Clerk of Court each time the amount in the account exceeds $10, until the filing fees are paid. 28 U.S.C. 1915(b)(2); see also In the Matter of the Prison Litigation Reform Act, Second Amended Standing Order, M10-468 (S.D.N.Y May 26, 2010) (requiring agencies to calculate and remit the statutory fees for litigants in their custody). Plaintiff has executed a prisoner authorization that authorizes the agency having custody of plaintiff, or any agency to which plaintiff is transferred, to send a certified copy of plaintiff's prison trust fund account for the past six months to this Court. (Doc. #3). The prisoner authorization further authorizes the agency to calculate the amounts specified by 28 U.S.C. 1915, to deduct those amounts from plaintiff's prison trust fund account (or institutional equivalent), and to disburse those amounts to this Court. The Court has no power to lower the amounts prescribed by statute, and accordingly, plaintiff's request to lower the deductions is DENIED. The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this Order to plaintiff at the address on the docket. The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Vincent L. Briccetti on 11/28/2018) (anc) Transmission to Docket Assistant Clerk for processing.
