ORDER OF DISMISSAL

16

On February 27, 2012, Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed a letter which commenced this

17

action. The same day, the Clerk notified Plaintiff that he had not paid the filing fee, nor had he

18

filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). The Clerk also notified Plaintiff that

19

he failed to submit a complaint. Along with the deficiency notices, Plaintiff was provided with a

20

new IFP application and instructions for completing it. Plaintiff was further cautioned that his

21

failure to either file a completed IFP application or pay the filing fee within thirty days would

22

result in the dismissal of this action. In addition, Plaintiff was advised that his failure to file a

23

complaint within thirty days would result in the dismissal of this action. To date, Plaintiff has

24

not paid his filing fee, filed a completed IFP application, or filed a complaint.

25

Plaintiff filed another letter on March 19, 2012, stating that he has not yet exhausted his

26

administrative remedies and requests a stay of this action in order to do so. Plaintiff’s request for

27

a stay is denied. His situation does not warrant an indefinite stay. The instant action is

28

DISMISSED without prejudice. The Clerk shall enter judgment and close the file.
