UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
TAMPA DIVISION
JIMMIE WILSON,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 8:18-cv-20-T-36AAS

GS4 TRANSPORTATION, et al.,
Defendants.
/
ORDER
Before the court is Plaintiff’s construed motion for a refund (Dkts. 9, 10) in which he
asserts that although his family paid the $350.00 filing fee in this case, the Department of
Corrections subsequently deducted funds from his inmate trust account and sent it to the court as
a partial payment of the filing fee in this case. Plaintiff requests the court contact the Department
of Corrections and explain that the filing fee has been paid.
On January 9, 2018, the court granted Plaintiff leave to proceed in this action in forma
pauperis (“ifp”) (see Dkt. 5). A copy of the order granting ifp status was mailed to the
Department of Corrections with instructions regarding the procedure for sending payments from
Plaintiff's prison trust account to the court until the filing fee is paid in full (Id.). Subsequently,
the court received $250.00 on February 5, 2018, and $100.00 on March 29, 2018. According to
Plaintiff, his family made those payments directly to the court. Therefore, the $350.00 filing fee
has been paid.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiff’s construed motion for a refund (Dkts. 9, 10) is GRANTED. The Clerk of
the Court shall reimburse to Plaintiff the $48.00 received by the court on May 25, 2018.

Plaintiff’s prisoner number is 104331.
2. Because the filing fee in this action has been paid in full, the Department of
Corrections shall remove the lien from Plaintiff’s prison trust account for the filing fee in this
action, case number 8:18-cv-20-T-36AAS.
3. The Clerk of Court shall MAIL a copy of this order to Plaintiff and the Florida
Department of Corrections, Inmate Trust Fund, Centerville Station, P.O. Box 12100, Tallahassee,
Florida 32317-2100, Attention: Rita Odom, Professional Account Supervisor.
DONE and ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, on June 26, 2018.
