UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CEDRIC GREENE,

Plaintiff,

v.

NORTH KERN STATE PRISON, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:05-CV-00150-AWI-SMS-P

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S REQUESTS

FOR COURT MONITORING OF CENTRAL

DISTRICT CASE AND FOR RELIEF FROM

PAYMENT OF FILING FEE

(Docs. 4 and 7)

Plaintiff Cedric Greene (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 24, 2005, plaintiff

filed a letter requesting that the court monitor the proceedings in case number 04-cv-8640 GPS (SS)

in the Central District of California. On March 21, 2005, plaintiff filed a letter again asking the court

to monitor the proceedings in his case in the Central District, and asking the court for relief from

payment of the filing until his release from custody.

The court cannot monitor the proceedings in plaintiff’s Central District case. In addition to

the fact that the court does have the resources to undertake such a course of action, the court can

discern no reason why such a course of action would be necessary. The instant action concerns

plaintiff’s placement in administrative segregation while at North Kern State Prison, a claim

presumably separate and distinct from that being advanced in his petition for writ of habeas corpus

being litigated in the Central District.

With respect to the filing fee, the court cannot relieve plaintiff of his obligation to make

payments toward the filing fee if plaintiff has funds available in his trust account. Plaintiff is

statutorily mandated to make such payments, where funds exist. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2).

Accordingly, plaintiff’s requests are HEREBY DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
