SHAUN DARNELL GARLAND,

Plaintiff,

v.

CASE NO. 1:06-cv-00198-OWW-LJO P

ORDER TAKING JUDICIAL NOTICE OF

MOTION FOR LEAVE TO PROCEED IN

FORMA PAUPERIS FILED IN CASE

NUMBER 06-00270, AND GRANTING

MOTION FOR LEAVE TO PROCEED IN

FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. 4 - case number 1:06-cv-00270-OWWWMW P)

Plaintiff Shaun Darnell Garland (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. This

proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 72-302 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).

Two civil actions were opened for plaintiff in this court. Case number 1:06-cv-00270-

OWW-WMW P was closed on April 21, 2006, on the ground that it was duplicative of this action.

The court reviewed the docket in case number 06-00270 and notes that plaintiff filed a motion for

leave to proceed in forma pauperis in that case on March 6, 2006. Accordingly, the court shall take

judicial notice of the motion. Because plaintiff submitted a declaration that makes the showing

required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), his motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis shall be granted.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1), enacted April 26, 1996, plaintiff is required to pay the

statutory filing fee of $350.00 for this action. Plaintiff has been without funds for six months and 1

is currently without funds. Accordingly, the court will not assess an initial partial filing fee. 28

U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). Plaintiff is obligated to make monthly payments of 20 percent of the preceding

month’s income credited to plaintiff’s prison trust account. These payments shall be collected and

forwarded by the appropriate agency to the Clerk of the Court each time the amount in plaintiff’s

account exceeds $10.00, until the filing fee is paid in full. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2).

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The court takes judicial notice of plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma

pauperis filed on March 6, 2006, in case number 1:06-cv-00270-OWW-WMW P; 

2. Plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted;

3. Plaintiff is obligated to pay the statutory filing fee of $350.00 for this action; and

4. The fee shall be collected and paid in accordance with this court’s order to the

Director of the California Department of Corrections filed concurrently herewith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
