No. C 13-0202 LHK (PR)
ORDER OF DISMISSAL

14
15

On January 15, 2013, Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed a letter, which commenced this

16

action. In response, the Clerk notified Plaintiff that he had not paid the filing fee, nor had he

17

filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). Along with the deficiency notice,

18

Plaintiff was provided with an IFP application and instructions for completing it. Plaintiff was

19

further cautioned that his failure to file a completed IFP application, or pay the filing fee within

20

thirty days would result in the dismissal of this action. Plaintiff has since filed a response to the

21

Clerk’s Notice, asserting, inter alia, that the Court lacks the authority to require payment of a

22

filing fee. (Doc. No. 3.) To date, Plaintiff has not paid his filing fee, nor has he filed a

23

completed IFP application.

Accordingly, the instant action is DISMISSED without prejudice. The Clerk shall
terminate all pending motions, enter judgment, and close the file.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
