Defendants.

Plaintiff, an inmate currently incarcerated at California State Prison’s Substance Abuse

Treatment Facility in Corcoran, California, and proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights

complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Because the Court neither received the $350 filing fee

Pauperis (“IFP”) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a) and 1915(a), the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s

action for failing to pay or move to proceed IFP. See August 2, 2007 Order at 2-3.

Plaintiff has now filed a “Motion to Reconsider” which the Court liberally construes as

a motion for extension of time to pay the initial civil filing fee. In Plaintiff’s Motion he indicates

that he was informed by the Prison’s trust account office that a check for $350 was mailed to the

Court along with his initial Complaint. See Pl.’s Mot. at 2. However, as of August 27, 2007,

this Court has not received Plaintiff’s check. Based on the documentation submitted to the

Court, it does appear that Plaintiff made a good faith effort to submit the correct filing fee.

Accordingly, the Court will GRANT Plaintiff an extension of time to submit the initial civil

filing fee of $350.00 or in the alternative, a Motion to Proceed IFP.

Conclusion and Order

Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time to Pay Initial Civil Filing Fee, or in the

alternative, a Motion to Proceed IFP [Doc. No. 4] is GRANTED. Plaintiff has sixty (60) days

leave from the date this Order is“Filed” to: (a) prepay the entire $350 civil filing fee in full; or

(b) complete and file a Motion to proceed IFP which includes a certified copy of his trust

account statement for the 6-month period preceding the filing of his Complaint pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
