I. FINDINGS

Terry Donell Galloway (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 16, 2022, Plaintiff filed the Complaint 

commencing this action, together with a motion to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28

In his motion to proceed in forma pauperis, Plaintiff provides evidence that on May 25,

average monthly balance was $1,965.53. (ECF No. 2 at 2.)

Under these facts, the court finds that Plaintiff can afford the $402.00 filing fee. 

Therefore, Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis should be denied and Plaintiff be 

required to pay the statutory filing fee of $402.00 for this action in full.

II. RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSION

Based on the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that:

1. Plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis, filed on June 16, 2022, be 

DENIED; and

2. Plaintiff be required to pay the $402.00 filing fee for this action in full within 30 

days.

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge 

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen 

(14) days after the date of service of these findings and recommendations, Plaintiff may file 

written objections with the court. Such a document should be captioned “Objections to 

Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file 

objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. 

Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
