P0998 A person incarcerated in state prison is not entitled to a waiver of fees and costs when filing a lawsuit, so a trial court's order waiving filing fees in such a case was erroneous, but it was binding and until it is set aside the incarcerated plaintiff is not required to pay fees; therefore, the action was not subject to dismissal for failure to pay fees; dismissal of a prisoner's lawsuit is not an appropriate sanction for the prisoner's failure to file a statement of account when requesting a reduction in filing fees.CitationSANDERS v YARBOROUGH (Prisoner's Fees) 137 CA4 764 [See: CA R of Ct 985; GovC 68511.3; Davis v Superior Court 184 C 691]
