In re JAMES K. AULD,

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff.
/

9
This case was opened when plaintiff wrote a letter to Judge Henderson of this court

11
For the Northern District of California

United States District Court

10

regarding administrative appeals of medical issues. In an effort to protect his rights, it was

12

filed as a new civil rights case. Plaintiff was informed that he had not filed a complaint and

13

was given thirty days to do so. He also was sent a notice that he had not paid the filing fee

14

or applied for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”); again, he was allowed thirty days

15

to either pay the fee or file the application. A copy of the court's form for applications to

16

proceed IFP was provided with the notice, along with a return envelope.

17

Plaintiff has written to the court saying that he did not intend to file a new case, and

18

did not intend to do anything other than inform Judge Henderson by letter about problems

19

with administrative appeals in his institution. This case is therefore DISMISSED without

20

prejudice as opened in error. No fee is due. The clerk shall close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
