CASE NO. 1:07-cv-00269-AWI-BAM PC

ORDER VACATING ORDER GRANTING

MOTION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(ECF No. 99)

Plaintiff Vincent C. Bruce (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action was filed on February 20, 2007, and on

March 5, 2007, Plaintiff paid the filing fee of $350. On January 19, 2011, Plaintiff filed a notice of

appeal, a motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, and an application to proceed in forma

pauperis. (ECF Nos. 95, 96, 97.) On January 24, 2011, the District Court issued an order granting

Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF No. 99.) Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in

forma pauperis on appeal was granted by the United States Court of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit on

February 22, 2011. (ECF No. 101.) 

Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis was addressed to the Court of Appeals, and

the District Court order granting Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis on January 24,

2011, was issued in error. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The order granting Plaintiff’s motions to proceed in forma pauperis and directing

payment of filing fees by the California Department of Corrections is VACATED; 

2. The California Department of Corrections is to cease collecting partial payments
