IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARCUS R. WILLIAMS, No. CIV S-04-1343-FCD-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

DAVID TRISTAN, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On April 28, 2005, judgment was entered dismissing this action in its entirety for

failure to exhaust administrative remedies and plaintiff appealed. On April 17, 2006, the Ninth

Circuit Court of Appeals issued an unpublished memorandum disposition affirming in part,

reversing in part, and remanding for further proceedings. Specifically, the Ninth Circuit

concluded:

The district court properly dismissed without prejudice Williams’s claim

relating to the confiscation of the January, February, March, April and

May 2003 issues of his Playboy magazine subscription. . . .

The district court erred in dismissing for failure to exhaust Williams’s

claims regarding the confiscation and denial of personal property

including his Playboy magazines, upon his placement in administrative

segregation in January 2003, and his constitutional challenge to

Administrative Bulletin 02/04. Williams exhausted all administrative

remedies available to him.

In light of the Ninth Circuit’s conclusions, the court now finds that plaintiff’s

application to proceed in forma pauperis makes the showing required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a),

and further finds that service is appropriate and will direct service by the U.S. Marshal without

pre-payment of costs. Plaintiff is informed, however, that this action cannot proceed further

until plaintiff complies with this order. Plaintiff is warned that failure to comply with this order

may result in dismissal of the action. See Local Rule 11-110. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted;

2. Plaintiff is required to pay the full statutory filing fee for this action

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a) and 1915(b)(1);

3. No initial partial filing fee will be assessed pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(b)(1); 

4. Plaintiff will be obligated for monthly payments of twenty percent of the

preceding month’s income credited to plaintiff’s prison trust account, such payments to 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 statutory filing fee is paid in full, pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(b)(2).

5. Service is appropriate for the following defendant(s): 

TRISTAN,

PLILER, and

JOHNSON;

the attached Notice of Submission of Documents and submit the following documents to the

court:

a. The completed Notice of Submission of Documents;

b. One completed summons;

c. Three completed USM-285 form(s); and

DATED: May 17, 2006.
