IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CURTIS LA VELL CLAYTON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-1575 MCE KJM P

vs.

UNITED STATES, ORDER AND

Defendant. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

Plaintiff has filed an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 seeking the issuance of a

certificate of appealability with respect to the denial of a petition for writ of habeas corpus filed

in the United State District Court for the Central District of California. Compl. at 5, 36-38. 

There is no legal authority giving this court the power to grant plaintiff the relief he seeks. 

Plaintiff is directed to 28 U.S.C. § 2253 and Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 22(b) for

information regarding the filing of a request for a certificate of appealability. 

The court notes that plaintiff has paid $155.00 towards the filing fee in this action. 

The filing fee for a habeas action is only $5.00. Because the relief sought by plaintiff is in the

nature of a habeas action, the court will order the Clerk of the Court to refund plaintiff $150.00.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the

Court refund to plaintiff $150.00 of the $155.00 paid by plaintiff for filing fees in this action; and
