In Re.

LOUIS D. DI BERNARDO,

Plaintiff.

Case No. 15-cv-05758-SI 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Re: Dkt. Nos. 1, 3

Louis D. Di Bernardo sent to the court a letter complaining about prison conditions at the 

Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, California. In an effort to protect his 

rights, a new action was opened and the letter was filed on November 24, 2015. Plaintiff was 

informed that he had not filed a complaint, and was given 28 days to do so or the action would be 

dismissed. He also was sent a notice that he had not paid the filing fee or applied for leave to 

proceed in forma pauperis, and was given 28 days to either pay the fee or file the application or 

the action would be dismissed. Plaintiff did not file a complaint or file an in forma pauperis

application; instead he sent a letter asking that his action be put on hold because he was not yet 

ready to file a complaint because he had not yet exhausted his administrative remedies. (Docket # 

3.) The court construes the letter to be a request to dismiss the action because plaintiff did not 

intend to file an action at this time and GRANTS it. (Docket # 3.) This action is DISMISSED
