UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
ALFREDO RIQUENE,
Case No. 24-cv-06044-VC
Plaintiff,
ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITHOUT
PREJUDICE
v.
UNKNOWN,
Defendant.
Alfredo Riquene, a prisoner at Federal Correctional Institution II in Oakdale, Louisiana,
filed a letter with the court seeking help with a case in the Western District of Louisiana. In an
effort to protect his rights, it was filed as a new civil rights case in this court. On the same day,
the Clerk sent Riquene two notices: (1) his complaint on the court’s form was due within 28 days
of the filing date of the Clerk’s notice; and (2) his completed in forma pauperis (IFP) application
or $405.00 filing fee was due within 28 days of the filing date of the Clerk’s notice. Both notices
included blank copies of the required forms and warned Riquene if he did not submit the
completed documents within the 28-day time frame, his case would be dismissed.
More than 28 days have passed, and Riquene has filed an application to proceed IFP, but
no complaint. He also filed a letter asking for an attorney because he does not speak English, and
stating that he “plea the 5th, 6th, and 7th United States Amendment.” Because he has not filed a
complaint on the court’s form, the court concludes that Riquene did not intend to open a new
case in this court. This case is dismissed as entered in error and no fee is due. The Clerk shall
enter a separate judgment, terminate all pending motions, and close the file.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: October 28, 2024
