ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on the pro se Plaintiff’s Motion to Refund Filing Fee.
(Doc. No. 41).
The Court dismissed Plaintiff’s underlying action on August 24, 2018. (Doc. No. 39).
Plaintiff now seeks a refund of the amount of money deducted from his prison trust account
statement to pay his filing fee. Plaintiff’s motion is denied, as Plaintiff is still required to pay the
full filing fee even though this action has been dismissed. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1) (stating that
“if a prisoner brings a civil action or files an appeal in forma pauperis, the prisoner shall be required
to pay the full amount of a filing fee”).
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:
Plaintiff’s Motion for Refund of Filing Fee, (Doc. No. 41), is DENIED.

Signed: September 7, 2018
