   MEMORANDUM

Ngugi Fred Nganga appeals pro se from the district court’s order administratively closing his action for failure to submit a complaint or petition to the court. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion, Pag-tahman v. Galaza, 291 F.3d 639, 640 (9th Cir.2002), and we vacate and remand.

The record indicates that Nganga’s complaint was lodged with the district court on December 5, 2007, and docketed on December 12, 2007. Accordingly, Nganga did not fail to submit a complaint, and we vacate and remand for further proceedings.

Nganga shall bear his own costs on appeal.

VACATED and REMANDED.
