UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PABLO P. PINA,

Plaintiff,

v.

JAMES TILTON, Director/Secretary;

et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 07-4989 SI (pr)

ORDER

Plaintiff's "motion that this court correct the filing fees owed in case # C 07-5675 SI" is

DENIED. (Docket # 57.) Plaintiff filed his motion in the wrong case, and should have filed

it in the case in which the fee was assessed. In any event, the motion is meritless. The filing fee

owed for case No. C 07-5675 SI was $350.00. Plaintiff tries to draw a distinction between the

fees for a petition for writ of mandamus and for a § 1983 action, but the statute setting the filing

fee does not make that distinction. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). Section 1914(a) allows a $5.00

filing fee only for habeas petitions, which Pina's petition for writ of mandamus in Case No. C

07-5675 SI was not. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
