NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

KING ROMANO RA PHARAOH 

BEAUJAYAM ALI EL YASHU©,

Plaintiff,

v.

THE ARREST, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-06637-BLF 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS 

CASE SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED

On November 16, 2016, Plaintiff filed the complaint in this action along with an 

application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). ECF 1, 3. On November 22, 2016, the Court 

denied Plaintiff’s application to proceed IFP without prejudice because the complaint fails to state 

a claim on which relief may be granted and is frivolous. ECF 5. The Court granted Plaintiff until 

December 21, 2016, to file an amended complaint and renewed application to proceed IFP. Id. 

As of yet, Plaintiff has not filed either an amended complaint or a renewed application. 

Plaintiff therefore must file an amended complaint and either pay the filing fee of $400.00 

or file a renewed application to proceed IFP on or before February 2, 2017 if he wishes to 

proceed with this case. If Plaintiff does not file an amended complaint and pay the filing fee or 

file an amended IFP application on or before February 2, 2017, the case will be dismissed without 

prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b) (providing for dismissal if plaintiff fails to prosecute action or 

to comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or a court order); Madden v. Badgett, 122 

F.3d 1072 (Table), 1997 WL 556361, at *1 (9th Cir. Aug. 29, 1997) (affirming dismissal of action 

under Rule 41(b) where plaintiff failed to pay the filing fee or to submit prison trust account 

statement); Soto v. Hayes, No. C-94-0098-VRW, 1995 WL 150572, at *1 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 20,
