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).

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.
