AMENDED COMPLAINT

(Doc. 10 at 6-70.)

Jason Saunders ("Plaintiff") is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed the Complaint commencing this action on October 13,

2006. (Doc. 2.) This case was dismissed on April 6, 2010 for Plaintiff's failure to prosecute, based on

Plaintiff's failure to obey the Court's order to pay the filing fee, and judgment was entered. (Docs. 28,

29.) 

On January 3, 2011, Plaintiff appealed the judgment to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth

Based on the Ninth Circuit's decision, Plaintiff shall be granted leave to proceed in forma

to send to the Clerk of the Court payments from Plaintiff's prison trust account each time the amount in

the account exceeds $10.00, until the statutory filing fee is paid in full. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2).

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

GRANTED;

2. The Warden of the R.J. Donovan Correctional Facility or his/her designee shall

collect payments from Plaintiff's prison trust account in an amount equal to twenty

per cent (20%) of the preceding month’s income credited to the prisoner’s trust

account and shall forward those payments to the Clerk of the Court each time the

amount in the account exceeds $10.00, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2),

until a total of $350.00 has been collected and forwarded to the Clerk of the Court. 

The payments shall be clearly identified by the name and number assigned to this

action. 

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of this order and a copy of Plaintiff’s

in forma pauperis affidavit upon the California Department of Corrections and

Rehabilitation, via the court's electronic case filing system (CM/ECF);
