First, in In re Tyler, 110 F.3d 528, 529-30 (8th Cir. 1997), the Eighth Circuit

has held that you will become liable for payment of the $455.00 filing fee

“at the moment” the notice of appeal is filed in the district court. This

fee is in addition to the fee which previously has been assessed in the district

court and is assessed regardless of the outcome of the appeal.

Therefore, you have two (2) options with respect to satisfying the appellate filing fee.

Specifically, you may either pay the entire fee of $455.00 at the time you file the notice of

appeal, or you may seek leave of the district court to file the appeal in forma pauperis. If

you choose to proceed in forma pauperis, you should be aware that:

By filing a notice of appeal in the district court, you consent to the deduction

of the initial partial appellate filing fee and the remaining installments from

your prison account by prison officials. The attached authorization form

permitting the deductions from your prison account must be submitted with

your application to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis.

You are required to submit to the clerk of the district court a motion to

proceed on appeal in forma pauperis and a certified copy of your prison

account for the last six (6) months within thirty (30) days of the filing of the

notice of appeal.

If you fail to file the prison account information within the time provided, the
