IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LISA VIRGEN,

Plaintiff, CIV S-06-0341 FCD KJM PS

vs.

SALLIE MAE, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se. Plaintiff has filed an in forma pauperis affidavit in

which she states that she is presently employed and that her gross monthly earnings are $4200.00.

Based on 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 and costs or security therefor, by a

person who makes affidavit that he is unable to pay such costs or give security therefor." 28

U.S.C. § 1915(a). The amount of plaintiff's earnings shows that plaintiff is able to pay the filing

fee and costs. Thus, plaintiff has made an inadequate showing of indigency. See Alexander v.

Carson Adult High Sch., 9 F.3d 1448 (9th Cir. 1993); California Men's Colony v. Rowland, 939

F.2d 854, 858 (9th Cir. 1991); Stehouwer v. Hennessey, 841 F. Supp. 316, (N.D. Cal. 1994). 

Plaintiff will therefore be granted twenty days in which to submit the appropriate filing fee to the

Clerk of the Court. Plaintiff 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, plaintiff shall submit the appropriate filing fee.

DATED: April 24, 2006.
