SAN JOSE DIVISION

DEANNA RAE PORTER-WEESE-HEFT,

Plaintiff,

v.

HELLS ANGELS MOTORCYCLE SAN 

JOSE CHAPTER,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-03201-BLF 

ORDER DISMISSING CASE

When Plaintiff filed the complaint in this action, she did not pay the filing fee but instead 

submitted an application to proceed in forma paupers. Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma 

pauperis was denied as incomplete and Plaintiff was granted fourteen days, until September 3, 

2015, to file a renewed application. Plaintiff did not file a renewed application within the time 

provided. 

On October 13, 2015, the Court – still not having received a renewed application to 

proceed in forma pauperis – issued an order setting a deadline of October 27, 2015 for payment of 

the filing fee. The order informed Plaintiff that failure to pay the filing fee by that date would 

result in dismissal of the case without prejudice under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). See

Order Setting Deadline for Payment of Filing Fee at 1, ECF 16. Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee 

within the time provided and still has not paid it. 

On November 6, 2015, Plaintiff filed a letter to the Court complaining that the city, county, 

state, and country have been overrun by Spanish speakers who are given more rights than Plaintiff 

by “corrupt governmental agencies” because “they are the preferred people afforded more rights 

than” Plaintiff, who is “white.” Letter, ECF 17. Nowhere in the letter does Plaintiff request relief 

from the Court’s order requiring her to pay the filing fee. Id. The letter sets forth Plaintiff’s

mailing address, which is the same as her address of record to which the Court’s Order Setting 

Deadline for Payment of Filing Fee was mailed. Therefore, there is no suggestion on the record 

that Plaintiff did not receive the Court’s Order Setting Deadline for Payment of Filing Fee.

Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 

41(b); Anthony v. United States Dep’t of the Interior, No. 11-35030, 2012 WL 907491, at **1 (9th 

Cir. March 19, 2012) (affirming dismissal without prejudice under Rule 41(b) where plaintiff 

failed to submit application to proceed in forma paupers or pay the filing fee).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 9, 2015
