UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDWARD THOMAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

PAUL HERNANDEZ, et al.,

 Defendants.

No. 1:24-cv-00989-SAB (PC)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTON 

FOR RESTORATION OF FILING FEE

(ECF No. 13)

Court.

Court, along with a separate request that the Court screen Plaintiff’s complaint pursuant to the 

Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA) 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). (ECF Nos. 1, 2.)

On August 26, 2024, the Court granted Defendants request to screen the complaint 

because this Court is statutorily required to screen Plaintiff’s complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 

1915A. (ECF No. 6.) As this case was removed by Defendants from state court and paid the 

$405.00 filing fee for this action, the Court has not and will not assess any further filing fees for 

this action. Thus, there is no merit to Plaintiff’s claim that his Court has assessed any filing fee 

against him for this action. To the extent Plaintiff seeks relief from the assessment of any filing
