NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BILL LIETZKE,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF MONTGOMERY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 3:18-cv-06196-WHO 

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND 

RECOMMENDATION AND 

DISMISSING CASE

Re: Dkt. Nos. 2, 5, 8

On October 9, 2018, plaintiff Bill Lietzke filed a complaint and an application to proceed 

in forma pauperis. Dkt. Nos. 1, 2. Neither were signed. On October 15, 2018, Magistrate Judge 

Joseph C. Spero ordered Lietzke to resubmit the application with his signature or pay the $400 

filing fee within 60 days. Dkt. No. 4. Lietzke failed to do so and instead filed another application 

that entirely lacked the signature page. Dkt. No. 5. On December 19, 2018, Judge Spero issued a 

report and recommendation that both applications be denied and that this case be dismissed 

without prejudice. Dkt. No. 8. Objections were due by January 2, 2019. As of the date of this 

Order, no objections have been filed.

I find Judge Spero’s report thorough and correct; I adopt it in every respect. Accordingly, 

the applications to proceed in forma pauperis are DENIED and the complaint is DISMISSED 

WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
