UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN HARDNEY,

Plaintiff,

v.

G. PHILLIPS, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:13-cv-2371 TLN CKD P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights 

action, has filed a “motion for clarification” of the court’s January 27, 2014 order directing prison 

officials to deduct payments from plaintiff’s inmate trust account until the filing fee for this action

is paid in full. (ECF No. 15.) Plaintiff takes issue with the amounts that have been deducted 

from his account to date. Having reviewed the record of this action, the court finds no reason to 

believe that prison officials miscalculated plaintiff’s payments per the January 27 order. (See

ECF No. 3 at 3-4.) Moreover, it is not the court’s practice to monitor prison officials’ collection 

of the filing fees for actions initiated by inmate plaintiffs, at least in the absence of clear error.
