   Richard Rebstock moves for leave to proceed in forma
pauperIS.

longer afforded the alternative of proceeding without
payment of filing fees, but must, in time, pay the $450
filing fee in its entirety. When funds exist, an initial
partial payment must be made consisting of 20% of the
greater of (a) the average monthly deposits to the pris-
oner's account or (b) the average monthly balance in the
prisoner's account for the six-month period immediately
preceding the filing of the notice of appeal. 28 U.S.C. §
1915(b)(1). Thereafter, the prisoner is required to make
monthly payments of 20% of the preceding month's in-
come credited to the prisoner's account. 28 U.S.C. §
1915(b)(2). The agency with custody of the prisoner must
forward payments from the prisoner's account each time
the amount in the account exceeds $10 until the $450
filing fee is paid in full. Id.

    By separate letter, the custodian of Rebstock's prison
account is being directed to make the necessary arrange-
ments to forward the filing fee to the court.

      Accordingly,

      IT IS ORDERED THAT

    Rebstock's motion to proceed in forma pauperis is de-
nied.
