On August 2, 2024, the Court docketed a letter from Plaintiff. Dkt. No. 1. Because

14

Plaintiff appeared to be seeking action from the Court, the Court opened an action pursuant to this

15

filing. That same day, the Court sent Plaintiff deficiency notices, informing Plaintiff that the action

16

was deficient because he did not submit the proper case-initiating forms – (1) a civil rights

17

complaint on the civil rights complaint by prisoner form and (2) either the filing fee or an

18

application to proceed in forma pauperis. Dkt. Nos. 2, 3. The Court sent Plaintiff a blank form

19

civil rights complaint by prisoner form and a blank in forma pauperis application form. Id. The

20

Court informed Plaintiff that, by August 31, 2024, he must submit both (1) a signed and completed

21

complaint on the proper form, and (2) either pay the filing fee or submit a signed and completed in

22

forma pauperis application, or this action would be dismissed without prejudice. Id. The deadline

23

to file a complaint on the proper form and to either pay the filing fee or submit an application to

24

proceed in forma pauperis has passed, and Plaintiff has not filed the required documents.

25

Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED for failure to submit a signed and completed complaint on

26

the proper form, and to file an in forma pauperis application or pay the filing fee. The dismissal is

27

without prejudice to Plaintiff filing a motion to reopen the action. Any motion to reopen must be

28

accompanied by both (1) a signed and completed complaint on the proper form; and (2) either the

1

filing fee or an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Judgment is entered in favor against

2

Plaintiff. The Clerk shall close the case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
