 Effective February 7, 2006 thru April 8, 2006, the statutory filing fee for all civil actions except applications for

1

writs of habeas corpus was $250.00. 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a).

2

2006, a court order granting plaintiff leave to proceed in forma pauperis, assessing a filing fee of

$350.00, and assessing an initial partial filing fee of $26.17; and a court order directing the California

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to collect an initial partial filing fee of $26.17

and collect the remaining balance of $323.83 thereafter were filed. On July 25, 2006, plaintiff alerted

the court that based on the date he filed suit, the filing was $250.00 rather than $350.00. Plaintiff is

correct. Therefore, the order granting ifp and assessing a filing fee of $350.00, and the order directing

CDCR to collect $323.83 shall be vacated. 

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1), plaintiff is required to pay the statutory filing fee of $250.00

for this action. An initial partial filing fee of $26.17 was assessed by the court in its order filed on June 1

1, 2006, and court records reflect receipt of $26.17 on August 9, 2006. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). Plaintiff

is obligated to pay the remaining $223.83 balance via monthly payments of twenty percent of the

preceding month’s income credited to plaintiff’s prison trust account. These payments will be forwarded

by CDCR 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 orders (1) granting plaintiff leave to proceed in forma pauperis, assessing a filing fee

of $350.00, and assessing an initial partial filing fee of $26.17; and (2) directing CDCR

to collect an initial partial filing fee of $26.17 and collect the remaining balance of

$323.83 thereafter, filed June 1, 2006, are VACATED;

2. Plaintiff's request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED;

3. Plaintiff is obligated to pay the statutory filing fee of $250.00 for this action, $26.17 of

which has already been paid;

4. All fees shall be collected and paid in accordance with this court’s order to the Director

of CDCR filed concurrently herewith; and
