ORDER

Plaintiff Anthony R. Ramirez, who is an Arizona inmate, filed a complaint in

Maricopa County Superior Court, matter No. CV2010-013014, in which he alleged violations

of his federal constitutional rights. (Doc. 1-1.) Defendants removed this action to federal

court. (Doc. 1.) In an Order filed on May 27, 2011, the Court ordered Defendant Hadsal to

answer the Complaint and dismissed the remaining Defendants without prejudice. (Doc. 8.)

On June 7, 2011, Plaintiff filed a motion asking the Court to review and reconsider waiving

the filing fees. (Doc. 10.) Attached to Plaintiff’s motion are copies of documents concerning

the deferral of fees assessed by the state court when Plaintiff filed this case there. This Court

is a federal court, which has not assessed any fees against Plaintiff.1

 To seek relief as to fees

assessed by the state court, Plaintiff must seek such relief in state court. As a federal court,

this Court lacks the authority to grant relief as to state court fees. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s

motion will be denied.
