MICHAEL W. MOSMAN, District Judge
Plaintiff, an inmate at the Multnomah County Detention Center, moves to proceed in forma pauperis (#1). An examination of the application reveals that plaintiff is unable to afford the fees of this action. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the provisional in forma pauperis status given the plaintiff is confirmed. However, the Clerk of the Court shall not issue process until further order from the court.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1), a prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis is required to pay the full filing fee of $150.00 when funds exist. Plaintiff has authorized the agency having custody of him to collect the filing fee from his prison trust account when funds exist. However, plaintiff has been without funds for the six months immediately preceding the filing of his complaint. Accordingly, the court shall not assess an initial partial filing fee. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2). When funds exist, plaintiff shall be obligated to make monthly payments of 20 percent of the preceding month's income credited to plaintiff's trust account. These payments shall be collected and forwarded by the agency having custody of plaintiff to the Clerk of the Court each time the amount in plaintiff's trust account exceeds $10.00, until the filing fee is paid in full. Id.
