UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HAROLD HUNTER,

Plaintiff,

v.

DOROTHY H. DO-WILLIAMS, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-1971 KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel. Plaintiff consented to magistrate 

judge jurisdiction for all purposes pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) and Local Rule 305(a). See

ECF No. 10. On December 15, 2015, plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis was 

denied, and plaintiff was directed to pay the $350.00 filing fee required to commence a civil 

action in federal district court. 

However, the court inadvertently failed to inform plaintiff that he must also pay the 

$50.00 administrative filing fee. Litigants proceeding in forma pauperis are not required to pay 

the $50.00 administrative fee. Because the court found that plaintiff made an inadequate showing 

of indigency and was required to pay the filing fee, plaintiff is required to pay the $350.00 filing 

fee and the $50.00 administrative fee for a civil action. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(a).

Plaintiff has now paid the $350.00 filing fee. Thus, plaintiff is granted an extension of 

time in which to pay the administrative fee. Plaintiff is cautioned that failure to pay the 

administrative fee will result in an order dismissing this action.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within twenty-one days from the date of 

this order, plaintiff shall submit the $50.00 administrative fee.

Dated: January 12, 2016
