Case No. 17-cv-05692-SI
ORDER OF DISMISSAL

v.
THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA, et al.,
Defendants.

12

Plaintiff filed this pro se prisoner’s civil rights action on October 3, 2017. On that date,

13

the Court notified plaintiff in writing that the complaint was deficient due to his failure file a

14

completed and signed Court-approved in forma pauperis application, including a completed

15

certificate of funds in the prisoner's account and a copy of the prisoner's trust account statement

16

for the last six months. Plaintiff was advised that failure to pay the fee or file the completed

17

application within 28 days would result in dismissal of the action. Plaintiff has failed to timely

18

provide the Court with either the filing fee or a completed in forma pauperis application, and the

19

deadline by which to do so has long passed. Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED without

20

prejudice for failure to pay the filing fee or submit a completed in forma pauperis application.

21

Plaintiff may file a new action, but should include a filing fee or an in forma pauperis application

22

with a new civil rights complaint to commence that new action. Because this action is now

23

dismissed, plaintiff should not file an in forma pauperis application or pay the filing fee in this

24

action. The clerk shall close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
