ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO
SERVE ORDER ON CSP-SACRAMENTO
TRUST ACCOUNT OFFICE

Plaintiff Donald Glass (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil action

18

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on July 14, 2004. On September 7, 2004,

19

Plaintiff paid the filing fee for this action. (ECF No. 11.) On December 1, 2010, a jury rendered a

20

verdict in this case in favor of Defendants. On January 13, 2011, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal.

21

On February 9, 2011, the District Court granted Plaintiff in forma pauperis status on appeal. (ECF

22

No. 241.) The order directed the CDCR to send the Clerk of the Court payments from Plaintiff’s

23

account each time the amount of the account exceeds $10.00, until the $455.00 statutory filing fee

24

for appeal number 11-15109 is paid in full. (ECF No. 241.)

25

On June 4, 2014, Plaintiff filed two motions concerning the filing fees in this action.

26

Plaintiff states he has paid the filing fee for this action, and he is only responsible for the appellate

27

filing fee of $455.00. However, he states prison officials are deducting payments for two filing fees

28

of $455.00. He states prison officials have imposed deductions for a $455.00 filing fee for the

instant case: 1:04-cv-05953-LJO-DLB.
Plaintiff is correct that he has paid the filing fee in the instant action. Therefore, any
deduction for a filing fee in this action is erroneous. Plaintiff’s trust account should only be
deducted for the filing fee owed for the appeal. To the extent that Plaintiff’s trust account has been
deducted for a filing fee in this action, the trust account office is directed to return said funds and
remove any filing fee attached to this case (1:04-cv-05953-LJO-DLB). The Clerk of Court is
DIRECTED to serve a copy of this Order on the prison trust account office at California State
Prison, Sacramento.
