UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GARY DALE BARGER,

Plaintiff,

v.

CDCR,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-0221 CKD P

ORDER

On May 12, 2015, this action was dismissed for plaintiff’s failure to pay the filing fee. 

Plaintiff has filed a motion asking that the court “re-open” his case because officials at his prison 

are refusing to pay the filing fee. Prison officials are not required by law to pay the filing fee for 

plaintiff. To the extent plaintiff asserts officials are simply failing to forward money belonging to 

plaintiff to the court in order to satisfy the filing fee, the court notes that on March 26, 2015, 

plaintiff indicated, under the penalty of perjury, in a document filed in case No. 2:15-cv-0124 

CKD P that he has no money in his prison trust account and has not had any money for three 

years.
