UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD G. HOLGUIIN,

Plaintiff,

v.

JOHN DOE, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:05-CV-00440-AWI-SMS-P

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK’S OFFICE TO

FILE IN PLAINTIFF’S LETTER AND

ADDRESSING STATUS OF FILING FEE

PAID AND OWED

Plaintiff filed this action on March 22, 2005, in the Northern District of California. The

action was transferred to this court by order filed April 4, 2005. On November 21, 2005, this court

received a letter, forwarded by the Northern District, from plaintiff concerning the $100.00 he sent

to the Northern District for the filing fee in this action. Plaintiff believes he is entitled to a refund

of $100.00. The Clerk’s Office shall file in plaintiff’s letter. By this order, the status of the filing

fee owed by plaintiff shall be clarified. 

The filing fee for this action is $250.00. In June of 2005, after the action was transferred to

this court, plaintiff sent the Northern District a check for $100.00. On July 11, 2005, unaware of the

submission of the $100.00, this court issued an order assessing an initial partial filing fee of $133.19

and directing the California Department of Corrections to collect the remaining balance of $116.81.

On August 25, 2005, the court received $100.00 from the Northern District.

Plaintiff is not owed a refund of $100.00 by either this court or the Northern District, as the

$100.00 has been credited toward the filing fee in this action. Between the $100.00 sent in by

plaintiff and the $133.19 sent in by CDC, plaintiff has paid $233.19 of the $250.00 filing fee. The

remaining balance owed by plaintiff is $16.81. In a separate order issued concurrently with this

order, the court will notify CDC that plaintiff owes only $16.81 rather than $116.81 as set forth in

the court’s order of July 11, 2005.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
