No. C 14-5217 CRB (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On November 25, 2014, the clerk filed as a new prisoner action a Menlo

Park Police Personnel Complaint Form mailed to the court by plaintiff

complaining of various wrongdoing in connection with his arrest. On that same

date, the court notified plaintiff in writing that the action was deficient because he

did not file an actual complaint or pay the requisite filing fee or, instead, submit a

signed and completed court-approved in forma pauperis (IFP) application. 

Plaintiff was advised that failure to file the requested items within 28 days would

result in dismissal of the action. 

Plaintiff instead has filed a letter explaining that he did not intend the

personnel complaint form to be filed as a new action in this court. The complaint

form “mistakenly” was sent to this court instead of the San Mateo County Superior

Court. Dkt. #8 at 1. Good cause appearing, the case is DISMISSED without

prejudice. The clerk is instructed to close this matter as improvidently opened. No

filing fee is due. 

SO ORDERED.

DATED: Jan. 12, 2015 _________________________ CHARLES R. BREYER
