IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

FAYETTEVILLE DIVISION

GLADYS ALAS, MARIA CARMEN BABB,

NORBERTO DUBLAN, and ISABEL LUGO PLAINTIFFS

v. CASE NO. 05-5154

ROCKLINE INDUSTRIES, INC., DEFENDANT

ORDER

Currently before the Court is Plaintiffs’ Motion for Refund of

Filing Fee (Doc. 46). Plaintiffs previously filed a notice of

appeal of the Court’s order denying their motion for class

certification. The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals construed the

notice as a petition for permission to appeal. Plaintiffs paid an

appellate filing fee of $455.00, but the payment of such was not

due unless and until the Eighth Circuit granted plaintiffs’

petition for permission to appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 5(d)(1)(A).

As the Eighth Circuit denied plaintiffs’ petition, they are

entitled to a refund of the filing fee. Accordingly, plaintiff’s

Motion (Doc. 46) is hereby GRANTED and the district court clerk is

directed to refund the $455.00 filing fee to plaintiffs.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 16 day of February, 2007. th
