No. C 13-3850 RS (PR)
ORDER OF DISMISSAL

v.

11

METRO PUBLISHING,

12

Defendant.
/

13
14

Plaintiff has failed to comply with the Court’s order to (1) perfect his application to

15

proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”), or (2) pay the full filing fee of $350.00. The IFP

16

application does not contain a prison trust account statement showing transactions for the last

17

six months. Accordingly, the action is DISMISSED without prejudice for failing to respond

18

to the Court’s order, and for failure to prosecute, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Because this

19

dismissal is without prejudice, plaintiff may move to reopen the action. Any such motion

20

must contain (1) a prison trust account statement showing transactions for the last six

21

months, or (2) full payment for the filing fee of $350.00. His IFP application (Docket No.

22

2), and his motion for the appointment of counsel (Docket No. 3), are DENIED without

23

prejudice. Plaintiff may refile these motions when he moves to reopen the action. The Clerk

24

shall enter judgment in favor of defendant, terminate Docket Nos. 2 and 3, and close the file.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
