IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

EL DORADO DIVISION

A. J. GREENBERG PLAINTIFF

VS. CASE NO. 06-CV-1027

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE DEFENDANT

ORDER

Before the Court is Plaintiff A. J. Greenberg’s Motion to Reduce Fee. (Doc. No. 2). 

Plaintiff seeks a reduction of the Court’s filing fee and asks the Court to direct the clerk’s office

to refund $100.00 of the $250.00 filing fee paid in this matter. 

Plaintiff filed this action on March 22, 2006. At that time the filing fee to institute a civil

action in this Court was $250.00. This amount was paid by the Plaintiff. Plaintiff now seeks a 1

reduction in this fee because he was inadvertently given an outdated Manual for Pro Se Litigants

which stated that the Court’s filing fee was $150.00. 

The Court regrets that Plaintiff received an outdated pro se manual containing the old

filing fee information but this does not change the fact that on the date this action was filed the

filing fee was $250.00. Further, the Court believes that the Plaintiff has the financial ability to

pay the required $250.00 filing fee as is evidenced by the fact that the filing fee has already been

paid by the Plaintiff. The Court finds that a reduction in the filing fee is not appropriate in this

case. Therefore, the Plaintiff’s motion to reduce the filing fee is hereby denied.
