Plaintiff, ORDER VACATING FINDINGS

 AND RECOMMENDATION OF

v. FEBRUARY 2, 2006 

[Document #8]

GEORGE GALAZA, et al.,

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION 

Defendants. PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

[Document #7] 

 /

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

U.S.C. § 1983. On February 2, 2006, Magistrate William M. Wunderlich submitted findings and

a recommendation to United States District Judge Robert E. Coyle to dismiss plaintiff’s case for

failure to comply with the court’s order of November 18, 2005, which ordered plaintiff to submit

a new application to proceed in forma pauperis and a certified copy of his trust account statement,

or in the alternative, to pay the $250.00 filing fee. On January 27, 2006, plaintiff did submit his

motion to proceed in forma pauperis and a certified copy of his trust account statement. Due to

plaintiff's compliance with the order of November 18, 2005, and good cause appearing, the

findings and recommendation shall be vacated. In addition, because plaintiff has submitted a

declaration that makes the showing required by § 1915(a), the application to proceed in forma

pauperis shall be granted.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1), enacted April 26, 1996, plaintiff is required to

pay the statutory filing fee of $250.00 for this action. An initial partial filing fee of $5.79 will be 1

assessed by this order. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). By separate order, the court will direct the

appropriate agency to collect the initial partial filing fee from plaintiff’s trust account and forward

it to the Clerk of the Court. Thereafter, plaintiff will be obligated for monthly payments of twenty

percent of the preceding month’s income credited to plaintiff’s prison trust account. These

payments will be forwarded by the appropriate agency to the Clerk of the Court each time the

amount in plaintiff’s account exceeds $10.00, until the filing fee is paid in full. 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(b)(2).

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendation of February 2, 2006, are VACATED;

2. Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED; and

3. Plaintiff is obligated to pay the statutory filing fee of $250.00 for this action. 

Plaintiff is assessed an initial partial filing fee of $5.79. All fees shall be collected and paid in

accordance with this court’s order to the Director of the California Department of Corrections

filed concurrently herewith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
