MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

This matter is before the court on Plaintiff’s “Motion for Order” (Filing No. 8).
Plaintiff seeks an order compelling the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services
(“NDCS”) to “release $350.00 from Plaintiff’s confiscated cash account, and apply it
towards the $350.00 filing fee for/to this case.” (Filing No. 8.) Even assuming this court
has the authority to order the NDCS to remit Plaintiff’s confiscated funds, Plaintiff has
not set forth any compelling reason why his confiscated funds (rather than his available
funds) should be used to pay his filing fee in this action.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that: Plaintiff’s “Motion for Order” (Filing No.
8) is denied.

DATED this 29th day of August, 2014.
BY THE COURT:
s/ John M. Gerrard
United States District Judge
