A review of the Motion reveals that Plaintiff does not have the funds to prepay the filing fee. Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis is granted. ECF No. #11 . By filing this case, Plaintiff has incurred a debt to the United States of America in the amount of $350. See 28 U.S.C. 1914. This debt is not dischargeable in the event Plaintiff seeks relief under the bankruptcy provisions of the United States Code. See 11 U.S.C. 523(a)(17).

See 28 U.S.C. 1915(a), (b). As the court has granted Plaintiff permission to proceed in forma pauperis, the agency having custody of Plaintiff shall collect payments from Plaintiff's prisoner trust account in accordance with 28 U.S.C. 1915(b)(1) and (2), until the full $350 filing fee is paid.
