Harvey v. San Diego City Jail
RICHIE CHARLES HARVEY, Inmate Booking No. 12582317, Plaintiff,v.SAN DIEGO CITY JAIL; SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT; MEDICAL DEPARTMENT; JOHN/JANE DOES 1-10; CAPT. DANIEL PENNER, Defendants.
ORDER DENYING MOTION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS AND DISMISSING CASE WITHOUT PREJUDICE PURSUANT TO 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) [ECF No. 13]
Plaintiff, currently housed at Utah State Prison located in Draper, Utah, and proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights complaint 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. 13]. This is Plaintiff's second Motion to Proceed IFP. The Court denied Plaintiff's previous Motion to Proceed IFP for failing to submit a certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the 6-month period immediately preceding the filing of his Complaint as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). (ECF No. 5 at 1-2.) Plaintiff's current Motion to Proceed IFP must be denied on the same grounds.
All parties instituting any civil action, suit or proceeding in a district court of the United States, except an application for writ of habeas corpus, must pay a filing fee of $350. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). An action may proceed despite a party's failure to pay only if the party is granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP") pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). See Andrews v. Cervantes, 493 F.3d 1047, 1051 (9th Cir. 2007); Rodriguez v. Cook, 169 F.3d 1176, 1177 (9th Cir. 1999). "Under the PLRA [Prison Litigation Reform Act], all prisoners who file IFP civil actions must pay the full amount of the filing fee, " regardless of whether the action is ultimately dismissed for any reason. See Taylor v. Delatoore, 281 F.3d 844, 847 (9th Cir. 2002) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1) & (2)).
While Plaintiff has filed a second Motion to Proceed IFP pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), once again, he has not attached a certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the 6-month period immediately preceding the filing of his Complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2); S.D. CAL. CIVLR 3.2. Section 1915(a)(2) clearly mandates that prisoners "seeking to bring a civil action... without prepayment of fees... shall submit a certified copy of the trust fund account statement (or institutional equivalent)... for the 6-month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint." 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2) (emphasis added).
(1) Plaintiff's Motion to Proceed IFP [ECF No. 13] is DENIED and the action is DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to prepay the $400 filing fee mandated by 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a).
