Although no complaint or petition was filed, the Clerk of the Court opened a case file

comprised of the IFP application. The case was categorized as a civil rights action because

the IFP application includes a caption in which plaintiff identifies himself as “Plaintiff” and

“Cal. Dept. of Corr. & Rehab.” as “Defendant.”

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

(Docket No. 1)

On September 10, 2007, plaintiff, a California prisoner proceeding pro se, filed an

incomplete in forma pauperis (“IFP”) application. Plaintiff did not file any other documents

with the IFP application.1

 That same date, the Court notified plaintiff in writing that the

action was deficient due to plaintiff’s failure to pay the requisite filing fee or, instead, to

submit a completed court-approved IFP application. In said notice, plaintiff was advised that

his failure to pay the filing fee or, alternatively, to file a completed IFP application, within

thirty days, would result in dismissal of the action. Along with said notice, plaintiff was sent

a copy of the Court’s IFP application, instructions for completing it, and a return envelope. 

Also on that same date, the Court notified plaintiff in writing that the action was

deficient due to plaintiff’s failure to submit either a complaint or petition. In said notice,

plaintiff was advised that his failure to submit a complaint or petition within thirty days would

result in dismissal of the action. Along with said notice, plaintiff was sent a copy of the

Court’s civil rights complaint form, instructions for completing it, and a return envelope. 

Plaintiff has not responded to either of the Court’s deficiency notices. Accordingly, as

each deficiency notice was issued more than thirty days ago and plaintiff has neither

submitted a complaint or petition, nor completed the IFP application or paid the filing fee, the
