IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DEDRA J. RUSSEL, No. CIV.S-06-0063 FCD DAD PS

Petitioner,

v. ORDER

SACRAMENTO COUNTY ALCOHOL

AND DRUG BUREAU,

Respondent.

_________________________/

Petitioner is proceeding pro se. Petitioner has filed an

in forma pauperis affidavit in which she states that she is presently

employed and that her gross monthly earnings are approximately

$2,588.00 (i.e., “$1,294 bi-weekly”). 

Pursuant to federal statute, a filing fee of $250.00 is

required to commence a civil action in federal district court. 28

U.S.C. § 1914(a). The court may authorize the commencement of an

action "without prepayment of fees or security therefor” by a person

who submits an affidavit that he or she is unable to pay such fees. 

28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). The amount of petitioner's earnings indicate

that petitioner is able to pay the filing fee and costs. 

Petitioner’s showing with respect to indigency is inadequate. See

Olivares v. Marshall, 59 F.3d 109, 111 (9th Cir. 1995); Alexander v.

Carson Adult High Sch., 9 F.3d 1448, 1449 (9th Cir. 1993). 

Petitioner will therefore be granted twenty days in which to submit

the appropriate filing fee to the Clerk of the Court. Petitioner is

cautioned that failure to pay the fee will result in a recommendation

that the application to proceed in forma pauperis be denied and the

instant action be dismissed without prejudice.

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within twenty days

from the date of this order, petitioner shall submit the appropriate

filing fee.
