UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL JACQUES,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. LOPEZ, JR., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:16-cv-01289-DAD-SAB (PC)

ORDER RE NOTICE REGARDING PLRA 

DEDUCTIONS

(ECF No. 53)

Plaintiff Michael Jacques, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on August 31, 2016. On September 8, 2016, Plaintiff’s motion to 

proceed in forma pauperis was granted. Since Plaintiff was incarcerated when this matter was 

filed he must pay the statutory filing fee of $350.00 for this action. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). 

Plaintiff is obligated to make monthly payments in the amount of twenty percent of the 

proceeding month’s income credited to his trust account. The California Department of 

Corrections and Rehabilitation is required to send to the Clerk of the Court payments from 

Plaintiff’s account each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00, until the statutory filing 

fee is paid in full. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2).

On May 28, 2020, Plaintiff filed a notice that the $350.00 filing fee has been paid in full 

but he has continued to be charged for the filing fee. According to Plaintiff, his mother paid

$320.00 by a bank cashier’s check in May 2020 on his behalf. Plaintiff contends that this mother 

overpaid the amount due and that he is continuing to have funds deducted from his account to 

pay the filing fee. 

The financial records show that there have been two payments made in this matter. A 

$10.00 payment was made on April 7, 2017, and a $20.00 payment was made on March 16, 

2020. As of this date, Plaintiff has paid $30.00 toward the filing fee of $320.00. Plaintiff

currently has a balance of $320.00 on his account. Until such time as the account is paid in full, 

deductions will continue to be made from Plaintiff’s trust account. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
