Defendants.

TO: THE DIRECTOR OF THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS.
15

Plaintiff Ralph Slusher, #184468, presently confined in Arizona State Prison Complex in
16

Douglas, Arizona, has been assessed a filing fee of $150.00 for this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
17

§ 1915(b)(1). An Order to collect the filing fee was previously issued to the Maricopa County
18

Sheriff. See Order (Doc. #4). Plaintiff has since been transferred to the custody of the Arizona
19

Department of Corrections, and none of the filing fee has been collected. Therefore, the $150.00
20

balance of the fee must be collected from the inmate's trust account now held by the ADOC.
21

Plaintiff is obligated to make monthly payments in the amount of 20 percent of the preceding
22

month's income credited to Plaintiff's trust account. The Director of the Arizona Department of
23

Corrections is required to forward these payments from Plaintiff's trust account to the Clerk of the
24

Court each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00, until the balance of the statutory filing
25

fee is paid in full. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2).

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED: (1) That the Director of the Arizona Department of Corrections or his designee shall collect from Plaintiff's trust account the $150.00 balance of the filing fee by collecting monthly payments from Plaintiff's trust account in an amount equal to 20 percent of the preceding month's income credited to Plaintiff's trust account and forwarding payments to the Clerk of the Court each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00 in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2). The payments shall be clearly identified by the name and number assigned to this action; (2) That the Director of the Arizona Department of Corrections or her designee shall notify the Clerk of the Court in writing when Plaintiff is either released from the Arizona Department of Corrections or transferred to a correctional institution other than the Arizona Department of Corrections, so new billing arrangements may be made to collect any balance still outstanding; (3) That the Clerk of the Court is directed to serve by mail a copy of this Order on the Director of the Arizona Department of Corrections, 1601 West Jefferson, Phoenix, Arizona, 85007; and (4) That the Clerk of the Court is directed to serve by mail a copy of this Order on Michael Brodsky, Office of the Arizona Attorney General, 1275 West Washington, Phoenix, Arizona, 85007.
