 / DOCUMENT #43

Plaintiff, a state prisoner at the Central California Women’s Facility, Chowchilla,

California, is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in a civil rights action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. On March 4, 2004, plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis was

granted, and the Director of the California Department of Corrections was ordered to collect the

balance due of $100.00 for the statutory filing fee for this action. 

On July 25, 2005, plaintiff notified the court that funds continue to be deducted

from her trust account for payment of the filing fee, and plaintiff requests reimbursement of

$17.98, and further requests the court issue an order to stop deductions from her inmate trust

account. The filing fee for this action has been paid, as reflected by the court’s financial record,

attached hereto as Exhibit A. Accordingly, the court shall vacate its order of March 4, 2004,

entitled “Order Directing Payment of Inmate Filing Fee.” A review of plaintiff’s financial

correct. The filing fee is $150.00, and plaintiff has paid $167.98, an overpayment

of $17.98. Plaintiff’s request for a refund of the $17.98 overpayment of her filing

fee is GRANTED;

2. The Clerk of Court of the Eastern District of California is directed to issue a

refund of $17.98 to plaintiff Sylvia Martinez, (CDC #W-15342), c/o CCWF,

Central California Women’s Facility, PO Box 1508, Chowchilla, California
