UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEROME CLAY,

Plaintiff,

v.

AT&T COMMUNICATIONS, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:13-cv-1028 GEB CKD PS

amount of plaintiff’s income 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
