UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MANUEL ANTONIO GONZALEZ, III,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. RAZO, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00680 DLB PC

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO 

RETURN $400.00 FILING FEE

Plaintiff Manuel Antonio Gonzalez, III, # T-42888, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed 

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on May 4, 2015, along with a motion for leave 

to proceed in forma pauperis. On May 15, 2015, Plaintiff consented to the jurisdiction of the 

Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).

On May 28, 2015, the Court determined that Plaintiff is subject to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), 

having brought an action on three or more occasions that was dismissed on grounds of being 

frivolous, malicious, or failing to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. The Court issued 

an order denying Plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and dismissed the action 

without prejudice to refiling accompanied by the $400.00 filing fee. Judgment was entered that 

same date.

On June 5, 2015, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal. On 

June 19, 2015, the appeal was dismissed pursuant to Plaintiff’s notice of voluntary dismissal.

On July 6, 2016, Plaintiff submitted $400.00 for payment of the filing fee. Plaintiff is 

informed that the case was dismissed and closed on May 28, 2015. The dismissal was without 

prejudice to refiling a new case with payment of the filing fee. Therefore, Plaintiff must submit a 

new complaint along with his filing fee. 

ORDER

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

1) The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to return Plaintiff’s payment of $400.00; and

2) Plaintiff is advised that he must commence a new action by submitting a new complaint 

along with the filing fee.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
