United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

v.

GENEVA HOLMES,

Defendant.

Case No. 04-cv-00451-MAG (JCS)

ORDER INSTRUCTING CLERK TO 

WAIVE RECORDS FEES

Re: Dkt. Nos. 22, 23, 24

Defendant Geneva Holmes (now Geneva Holmes-James) filed three handwritten letters

(dkts. 22−24) in June and July of this year requesting that the Court waive a $64 fee for Ms. 

Homes-James to obtain documents previously filed in this case, in which default judgment was 

entered against her in 2004 and satisfied in March of this year. In a previous Order, the Court 

instructed Ms. Holmes-James to file an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Dkt. 25. She 

has now done so. Dkt. 27. Although Ms. Holmes-James’s responses are difficult to follow and 

often do not answer the questions posed in the form, she has made a sufficient showing of 

indigence for the Court to determine that she is unable to pay the fee to access her records without 

undue hardship. Accordingly, the request for a fee waiver is GRANTED. The Clerk is instructed 

to provide Ms. Holmes-James with copies of any documents previously filed in this action that she 

requests, without requiring payment of any fee.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 27, 2015
