P. BETINIS,

ORDER

Plaintiff has requested an extension of time to file an amended complaint. Good cause 

appearing, that request will be granted. Plaintiff has also asked that the court stay its order to the 

California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation concerning the collection of the filing 

fee for this action from plaintiff’s trust account. Plaintiff has not shown good cause for the entry 

of such an order,1nor that the court has the authority to stay the collection order.

 Plaintiff claims other inmates have money placed into his plaintiff’s trust account to avoid 

paying restitution, therefore all of the money in his trust account is not really his. Plaintiff’s

efforts to assist other inmates in avoiding their legal obligations is not a valid excuse for staying 

the court’s collection order.
