Charles Boyd v. Oceanside Police Department; City of Oceanside
CHARLES BOYD,PLAINTIFF,v.OCEANSIDE POLICE DEPARTMENT; CITY OF OCEANSIDE;CITY OF VISTA; CITY OF AND SAN LUIS REY TOWING, DEFENDANTS
Booking No. 201144610,
ORDER: (1) GRANTING MOTION TO (ECF No. 2) AND PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS CITY OF (2) SUA SPONTE DISMISSING SAN DIEGO DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S COMPLAINT FOR FAILING OFFICE; TO STATE A CLAIM PURSUANT VISTA DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE; TO 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b).
Charles Boyd ("Plaintiff"), currently detained at the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside, California, and proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
Plaintiff has not prepaid the $350 filing fee mandated by 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a); instead, he has filed a Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis ("IFP") pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) (ECF No. 2).
The Court finds that Plaintiff has submitted a certified copy of his trust account statements pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2) and S.D. CAL. CIVLR 3.2. Andrews, 398 F.3d at 1119. These statements show Plaintiff has a zero available balance in his account, and therefore, insufficient funds with which to pay any initial partial filing fee. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(4) (providing that "[i]n no event shall a prisoner be prohibited from bringing a civil action or appealing a civil action or criminal judgment for the reason that the prisoner has no assets and no means by which to pay [an] initial partial filing fee."); Taylor, 281 F.3d at 850 (finding that 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(4) acts as a "safety-valve" preventing dismissal of a prisoner's IFP case based solely on a "failure to pay ... due to the lack of funds available.").
Therefore, the Court GRANTSPlaintiff's Motion to Proceed IFP (ECF No. 2), and assesses no initial partial filing fee per 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). However, the entire balance of the $350 filing fee owed in this case shall be collected and forwarded to the Clerk of the Court pursuant to the installment payment provisions set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1).
A. Standard of Review The PLRA also obligates the Court to review complaints filed by all persons proceeding
IFP and by those, like Plaintiff, who are "incarcerated or detained in any facility [and] accused of, sentenced for, or adjudicated delinquent for, violations of criminal law or the terms or conditions of parole, probation, pretrial release, or diversionary program," "as soon as practicable after docketing." See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2) and 1915A(b). Under these provisions of the PLRA, the Court must sua sponte dismiss complaints, or any portions thereof, which are frivolous, malicious, fail to state a claim, or which seek damages from defendants who are immune. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B) and 1915A; Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1126-27 (9th Cir. 2000) (en banc) (§ 1915(e)(2)); Rhodes v. Robinson, 621 F.3d 1002, 1004 (9th Cir. 2010) (discussing 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)).
