For the Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DUANE A SINGLETON,

Plaintiff,

 v

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF

CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION,

Respondent.

 /

No C-09-4471 VRW (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

This civil rights action by a prisoner was filed on

September 22, 2009. Doc #1. The court notified plaintiff in

writing at that time, and again on December 18, 2009, that the

action was deficient because he did not pay the requisite $ 350.00

filing fee or, instead, submit a signed and completed court-approved

in forma pauperis application, including a completed certificate of

funds in his prison account and a copy of his prison trust account

statement for the last six months. See 28 USC § 1915(a)(2). 

Plaintiff was advised that failure to file the requested items

within thirty days would result in dismissal of the action. Doc ##

2 & 5. On November 23, 2009, and again on January 11, 2010, the

notices sent by the court was returned as undeliverable to

plaintiff. Doc ## 4 & 6.

More than four months have elapsed since plaintiff was

first notified of his filing deficiency; however, he has not

provided the court with the requisite items, or sought an extension

of time to do so. Further, plaintiff has failed to provide the

court with a current mailing address. 

Because more than sixty days have passed since the court’s

initial notice to plaintiff was returned as undeliverable, the

action is DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to Civil Local Rule

3-11(b).

The clerk shall close the file and terminate all pending

motions as moot. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
