UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

In re ELVIS JONES,

Plaintiff.

Case No. 15-cv-00668-HSG (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On February 12, 2015, this action was opened when the Court received from Plaintiff a 

letter to Senior District Court Judge Lawrence K. Karlton of the United States District Court for 

the Eastern District of California expressing displeasure with the mental health care in the prison 

at which Plaintiff is currently housed, Corcoran State Prison. The Clerk of the Court opened a 

case file, and sent out a notice that Plaintiff had not filed a complaint, and cautioned that the action 

would be dismissed if he did not submit a complaint within twenty-eight days. The Clerk also 

sent out a notice that this action was deficient due to Plaintiff's failure to pay the filing fee or 

furnish a completed and signed Court-approved in forma pauperis application, and cautioned that 

the action would be dismissed if he did not pay the fee or file the application materials within 

twenty-eight days.

Plaintiff has responded by explaining that the document he submitted was not intended as a 

new action, but as a letter to Judge Karlton, in his capacity as a member of the three-judge panel in
