ORDER OF DISMISSAL

(Docket No. 2)

Plaintiff, an Alameda County Jail inmate, filed this pro se civil rights action on

January 3, 2005. On that same day, the Court notified plaintiff in writing that the action was

deficient due to the failure to pay the requisite filing fee or, instead, submit a completed

court-approved in forma pauperis ("IFP") application, and he was advised that failure to pay

the filing fee or to file a completed IFP application within thirty days would result in

dismissal of this action. Specifically, he was informed that the IFP application failed to

include the requisite certificate of funds form completed by an authorized jail official and

jail trust account statement. Along with this notice, plaintiff was sent a copy of the Court’s

IFP application, instructions for completing it, and a return envelope. Plaintiff was

cautioned that failure to either pay the filing fee or return the certificate of funds and trust

account statement within thirty days would result in the dismissal of this action. More than

thirty days have passed and no response has been received from plaintiff. Accordingly, this

action is DISMISSED without prejudice. The incomplete application to proceed in forma

pauperis is DENIED. 

The Clerk shall close the file and terminate docket number 2. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: May 17, 2005
