UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

TORIANO GERMAINE HUDSON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

ROBERT NEUSCHMID, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:20-cv-0483-EFB P 

ORDER 

Toriano Hudson is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel. This action was opened 

when he submitted to the court an unsigned application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis 

and an unsigned complaint. ECF Nos. 1 & 2. On April 3, 2020, the court informed him that to 

properly commence a civil action, he needed to file a signed complaint and either pay the filing 

fee or submit a signed request leave to proceed in forma pauperis. ECF No. 10. The court also 

warned that his failure to properly commence an action within thirty days could result in this case 

being closed. Id. Despite affording Mr. Hudson an extension of time (ECF No. 12), he has not 

complied with the court’s order. Without a signed complaint, there is simply no case before the 

court. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 3. 

Accordingly, it hereby is ORDERED that this case be closed. 

DATED: June 17, 2020.
