UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

BRYAN DAMON PATTERSON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

THOMAS ZEWERT, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 17-cv-06914-RS (PR) 

ORDER REOPENING ACTION 

This federal civil rights action was dismissed because plaintiff failed to file a 

complete application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) or pay the filing fee. Plaintiff 

since has filed a complete IFP application. Accordingly, his motion to reopen is 

GRANTED. (Dkt. Nos. 13 and 14.) The action is REOPENED and the Clerk is directed 

to modify the docket to reflect this. The judgment and the order of dismissal are 

VACATED. (Dkt. Nos. 11 and 12.) 

Plaintiff’s motion for an order directing his jailors to submit IFP documents to this 

Court is DENIED as unnecessary because plaintiff has filed a complete IFP application. 

(Dkt. No. 15.) The complaint will be reviewed in a separate order. The Clerk shall 

terminate Dkt. Nos. 13, 14, and 15. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: March ___, 2018
