ORDER denying Plaintiff's 19 Motion to Return Money. Signed by Judge William S. Duffey, Jr on 04/01/2016. (dfb)
refund of $72, the Court has no statutory authority to grant Plaintiff’s
request. Under the Prison Litigation Reform Act, a prisoner is
required to pay all installments of a filing fee until it is paid in full,
and there is no exception for a dismissed lawsuit. See Holt
v. Bengton, 161 F.3d 17 (10th Cir. 1998). The Motion for Refund is
denied.
(November 19, 2014, Order at 3 n.1).
Plaintiff now appears to renew his request for a return of money taken from
his prison account. Plaintiff’s request is denied for the same reasons the Court
denied his Motion to Refund. The Court does not have statutory authority to grant
Plaintiff’s request, and he is required to pay all installments of his filing fee until it
is paid in full. See Holt v. Bengton, 161 F.3d 17 (10th Cir. 1998).
Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion to Return Money [19]
is DENIED.
SO ORDERED this 1st day of April, 2016.
