ORDER OF DISMISSAL

For the Northern District of California
United States District Court

No. C-12-0273 EMC (pr)
No. C-12-0274 EMC (pr)

These two actions were opened when the Court received letters from Michael Grimes in
14
which he complained about prison conditions at Mule Creek State Prison. The Court notified Mr.
15
Grimes in writing that each action was deficient in that he had not attached a complaint or petition
16
and had not filed an in forma pauperis application. The Court further notified him that each action
17
would be dismissed if he did not submit a complaint or petition, and an in forma pauperis
18
application, within thirty days. Mr Grimes did not file a complaint or a petition, and did not file an
19
in forma pauperis application, in either action. Instead, he wrote a letter to the Court in which he
20
asked that the Court to "cancel" the two actions. (Docket # 5 in Case No. C-12-0274 EMC.) In his
21
letter, Mr. Grimes seemed to indicate that the letters were intended to be exhibits in his earlier-filed
22
action, i.e., Grimes v. Mule Creek State Prison Health Care, Case No. C-12-0029 EMC, and were
23
not intended to commence new actions.

Accordingly, these actions are DISMISSED without prejudice because they were opened in
error. No fee is due.

0273 EMC and a copy of Docket # 1 from Case No. C-12-0274 EMC. The Clerk then will close the

file.
