United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MANUEL LOPEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

JOHN DOE,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-02930-WHO (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Dkt. No. 6

Plaintiff Manuel Lopez has failed to comply with the Court’s order to file a 

complete application to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) or pay the filing fee. The IFP 

application lacks a properly completed Certificate of Funds (the one filed is unsigned) and 

a prison trust account statement showing transactions for the last six months. Accordingly, 

the action is DISMISSED (without prejudice) for failing to comply with the Court’s orders 

and for failing to prosecute, see Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).

Because this dismissal is without prejudice, Lopez may move to reopen. Any such 

motion must contain the two documents described above. If plaintiff chooses to move to 

reopen the case, he is advised that he must state legally recognizable claims against any 

named defendant, alleging a plausible basis for suing them. The present complaint is 

wholly deficient in that respect. The current complaint states only this as a claim: “I need 

someone to investigate the use of satelite [sic] technology against me.” 

Lopez’s IFP application is DENIED as insufficient. (Dkt. No. 6.) The Clerk shall 

enter judgment in favor of defendant, terminate all pending motions, and close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 20, 2019
