VERNON EVANS-CARMICHAEL,

Petitioner,

v.

WARDEN,

Respondent.

Case No. 14-cv-05356-JCS (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Petitioner has failed to comply with the Court’s order to (1) perfect his application 

to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”), or (2) pay the full filing fee of $5.00. His IFP 

application is incomplete because it does not contain a (1) Certificate of Funds completed 

and signed by an authorized prison officer, or (2) prison trust account statement showing 

transactions for the last six months. Accordingly, the action is DISMISSED without 

prejudice for failing to respond to the Court’s order, and for failure to prosecute, see Fed. 

R. Civ. P. 41(b).1 Because this dismissal is without prejudice, petitioner may move to 

 

1

Plaintiff consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction. (Docket No. 5.) The magistrate 

judge, then, has jurisdiction to issue this order, even though respondent has not been 

served or consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction. See Neals v. Norwood, 59 F.3d 530, 

532 (5th Cir. 1995) (holding that magistrate judge had jurisdiction to dismiss prisoners 

action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 as frivolous without consent of defendants because they had 

not been served and therefore were not parties).

United States District Court

Northern District of California

reopen the action. Any such motion must contain (1) a prison trust account statement 

showing transactions for the last six months and a Certificate of Funds completed and 

signed by an authorized prison officer, or (2) full payment for the filing fee of $5.00. 

Petitioner’s IFP application (Docket No. 4) is DENIED as insufficient. The Clerk 

shall terminate Docket No. 4, enter judgment in favor of respondent, and close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 8, 2015
