UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
MARIO A. VALENZUELA,
Plaintiff,
v.
T. SCHMIDT, et al.,
Defendants.
No. 2:22-cv-1109 DB P

ORDER FOR PAYMENT OF INMATE
FILING FEE

To: Director of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, 1515 S Street,
Sacramento, California 95814:
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis, is obligated to pay the statutory
filing fee of $350.00 for this action. Plaintiff is assessed an initial partial filing fee of 20 percent
of the greater of (a) the average monthly deposits to plaintiff’s trust account; or (b) the average
monthly balance in plaintiff’s account for the 6-month period immediately preceding the filing of
this action. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). Upon payment of that initial partial filing fee, plaintiff will
be obligated to make monthly payments in the amount of twenty percent of the preceding month’s
income credited to plaintiff’s trust account. The California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation is required to send to the Clerk of the Court the initial partial filing fee and
thereafter payments from plaintiff’s prison trust account each time the amount in the account
exceeds $10.00, until the statutory filing fee of $350.00 is paid in full. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2).
