UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAYMOND E. JENKINS,

Plaintiff,

v.

CDCR,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:14-cv-00482 DLB PC

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

FOR REFUND OF FILING FEE

[ECF No. 10]

Plaintiff Raymond E. Jenkins (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on March 11, 2014. On April 14, 

2014, the Court granted Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. On September 19, 2014, 

Plaintiff filed a motion for a refund of his filing fees. Plaintiff complains that the order granting in 

forma pauperis status limited the deduction which the California Department of Corrections and 

Rehabilitation (“CDCR”) could take from his trust account to $10.00 per month. He states the 

CDCR has deducted more than $10.00 per month. 

Plaintiff misunderstands the Court’s order. The order did not limit the deduction to $10.00 

per month. The order stated that Plaintiff is obligated to make monthly payments in the amount of 

twenty percent of the preceding month’s income credited to his trust account. The CDCR is required 

to send to the Clerk of the Court payments each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00 until 

the statutory fee is paid.
