BACKGROUND

21

Dejon Simpson (“Simpson”) filed an Application to Proceed in Forma Pauperis

22 (“Application”) with this Court on December 12, 2014. Dkt. No. 1. The Clerk of the Court sent
23 a letter to Simpson notifying him that his Application was deficient for failure to submit a
24 certified copy of his prison trust account statement. Dkt. No. 2. The Clerk’s letter also notified
25 Simpson that his case may be subject to dismissal if he did not cure the defect by January 20,
26 2015. Id. Simpson has not communicated further with the Court since filing his Application.

DISCUSSION

2

Simpson has been granted substantial time to correct the deficiency in his Application,

5 to cure the deficiency, the Court ADOPTS the R&R and Simpson’s action is DISMISSED
6 WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
7 III.

CONCLUSION

8

For the foregoing reasons, the Court ADOPTS the R&R (Dkt. No. 3). Plaintiff’s action
