BURL EVANS,

Plaintiff,

v.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF CONTRA 

COSTA COUNTY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-05681-JCS (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff has failed to comply with the Court’s order to (1) perfect his application to 

proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”), or (2) pay the full filing fee of $400.00. Accordingly, 

the action is DISMISSED without prejudice for failing to respond to the Court’s order, and 

for failure to prosecute, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).1 Because this dismissal is without 

prejudice, plaintiff may move to reopen the action. Any such motion must contain (1) a 

complete IFP application, or (2) full payment for the filing fee of $400.00. 

The Clerk shall enter judgment in favor of defendants, and close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 20, 2015

judge, then, has jurisdiction to decide this motion, even though defendants have not been 

served or consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction. See Neals v. Norwood, 59 F.3d 530, 

532 (5th Cir. 1995)
