UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOSHUA NEIL HARRELL, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

ANTUAN SIMMONS, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:19-cv-1838 TLN AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed October 25, 2019, plaintiff was ordered to pay the filing fee within 

thirty days or face dismissal of this case. ECF No. 9. He then proceeded to file an appeal in the 

Ninth Circuit, ECF No 10, which was denied, ECF No. 13. On March 26, 2020, plaintiff was 

again ordered to pay the filing fee within thirty days or face dismissal of this action. ECF No. 14. 

Plaintiff has now filed a notice of filing bankruptcy in which he asserts that his pending 

bankruptcy proceedings prohibit this court from requiring that he pay the filing fee. ECF No. 15. 

Even if plaintiff were correct that bankruptcy proceedings prohibited the collection of the filing 

fee in this case, it would be immaterial because review of the docket in plaintiff’s bankruptcy 

proceeding shows that the case has been dismissed.
