and a recommendation to United States District Judge Oliver W. Wanger to dismiss plaintiff’s

case for failure to comply with the court’s order of July 14, 2006, 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 $350.00 filing fee. On September 14, 2006, plaintiff

filed objections to the findings and recommendation and submitted a new motion to proceed in

forma pauperis and a certified copy of his trust account statement. Due to plaintiff's compliance

25 The statutory filing fee for all civil actions except applications for writs of habeas corpus is $350.00. See 1

28 U.S.C. § 1914(a).

with the order of July 14, 2006, 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 $350.00 for this action. Plaintiff has been without funds for six

1

months and is currently without funds. Accordingly, the court will not assess an initial partial

filing fee. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). Plaintiff is obligated to make monthly payments of 20 percent

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

shall be collected and 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 September 6, 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 $350.00 for this action. 

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.
