CIVIL ACTION NO.

ORDER
It is ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for return of
the filing fee (Doc. 28) is denied.
Plaintiff filed an application to proceed without
prepayment of fees on April 1, 2009 (Doc. 2).

On April

2, 2009, the motion was granted, and he was ordered to
pay a $ 350 filing fee through drafts from his prison
account.

See Order (Doc. 3).

When plaintiff filed a

notice of appeal (Doc. 9) of the entry of judgment
against him, the district court ordered that he pay a
$ 455 filing fee for the notice of appeal, which he was
required to pay under 28 U.S.C. § 1915.
(Doc.

16).

While

the

court

See Order

sympathizes

with

plaintiff’s desire to avoid the high costs of these
filing fees, the court sees no grounds for overturning
these orders.
DONE, this the 28th day of December, 2022.
/s/ Myron H. Thompson
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
