When funds exist, an initial partial payment must be made consisting of 20% of the greater of (a) the average monthly deposits to the prison- er’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 Slone’s prison ac- count is being directed to make the necessary arrange- ments to forward the filing fee to the court.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED THAT

Slone’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis is denied.
