On April 23, 2012, Chul Hyun Cho, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, filed what was

16

construed as a civil rights complaint. The complaint was not signed and it set forth no intelligible

17

claims for relief. Because the Court cannot consider unsigned filings, the complaint was stricken

18

from the record on April 25, 2012, and Plaintiff was ordered to file a signed complaint within thirty

19

days. In addition, Plaintiff was ordered to either file a motion seeking leave to proceed in forma

20

pauperis or pay the $350.00 filing fee in full within thirty days. Plaintiff has not timely complied

21

with the Court’s order or otherwise responded, and Plaintiff was warned that this action would be

22

dismissed if he did not comply.1

23

A civil action may not proceed absent the submission of a pleading and either an application

24

to proceed in forma pauperis or the filing fee. 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915; Fed. R. Civ. P. 3. Because

25

Plaintiff has not responded to the Court’s order to submit a signed complaint and either an

26

application to proceed in forma pauperis or the filing fee, dismissal of this action is appropriate. In

The order was returned as undeliverable, but absent a notice of change of address, service at Plaintiff’s
address of record is valid. Local Rule 182(f).

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS this action dismissed, without prejudice, for
failure to obey a court order.
