UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JIMMIE STEPHEN,

Petitioner,

v.

JUSTICE REINHARDT; et al., 

Respondents. /

No. C 10-349 SI (pr)

ORDER

Petitioner has filed a motion for an order directing the San Quentin State Prison inmate

trust account office to strike the filing fee obligation for this long-closed case from his inmate

trust account. (Docket # 13.) The motion is DENIED. Upon the filing of the petition for writ

of mandamus to commence this action, petitioner became obligated to pay the $350.00 filing fee

for the action, regardless of the merits of his petition. Although petitioner was granted leave to

proceed in forma pauperis, the filing fee obligation remains due until fully satisfied under

installment payment plan described in 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b) for prisoners proceeding in forma

pauperis. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 24, 2015 ______________________
