IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SRIKANTH TANGIRALA

Plaintiff, No.CIV-S-06-0384 FCD PAN PS

vs.

JOHN E. POTTER, 

Postmaster General, U.S. Postal Service,

Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se. Plaintiff has filed an in forma pauperis affidavit

stating she is presently employed with a net monthly income of $1849.58, holds $3000.00 in

checking or savings accounts, owns a car valued at $2500.00, and has no dependents.

Pursuant to federal statute, a filing fee of $250.00 is required to commence a civil

action in federal district court. 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). The court may authorize the

commencement of an action "without prepayment of fees and costs or security therefor, by a

person who makes affidavit that he is unable to pay such costs or give security therefor." 28

U.S.C. § 1915(a). The amount of plaintiff's earnings and savings shows that plaintiff is able to

pay the filing fee and costs. Thus, plaintiff has made an inadequate showing of indigency. See

Alexander v. Carson Adult High Sch., 9 F.3d 1448 (9th Cir. 1993); California Men's Colony v.

Rowland, 939 F.2d 854, 858 (9th Cir. 1991); Stehouwer v. Hennessey, 841 F. Supp. 316, (N.D.

Cal. 1994). Plaintiff will therefore be granted twenty days in which to submit the appropriate

filing fee to the Clerk of the Court. Plaintiff is cautioned that failure to pay the fee will result in a

recommendation that the application to proceed in forma pauperis be denied and the instant

action be dismissed without prejudice.

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within twenty days from the date

of this order, plaintiff shall submit the appropriate filing fee.

DATED: March 9, 2006.
