November 29, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER: From a review of Plaintiff's Application, it appears that Plaintiff lacks sufficient financial resources from which to pay the full filing fee in advance. Therefore, his Application (Doc. No. #2 ) is GRANTED. Accordingly, Plaintiff is hereby assessed the full civil filing fee of $350, to be paid as follows. The custodian of Plaintiff's inmate trust fund account at the institution where he now resides is DIRECTED to submit to the Clerk of Court, as an initial payment, "20 percent of the greater of - (a) the average monthly deposits to Plaintiff's account; or (b) the average monthly balance in Plaintiff's account for the 6-month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint." 28 U.S.C. 1915(b)(1). The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED send a copy of this Order to the administrator of inmate trust fund accounts at the Lincoln County Jail. Because the events giving rise to this action occurred in the Eastern District of Tennessee, the Court presumes that any potential witnesses are also located within the Eastern District. Accordingly, this action shall be TRANSFERRED to the Eastern District of Tennessee, Winchester Division. The required screening of the complaint is more appropriately handled by the transferee court.
