UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MORRIS MESTER,

Plaintiff,

v.

K. DICKINSON; et al., 

Defendants. /

No. C 09-5463 MHP (pr)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

This pro se civil rights action was filed on November 17, 2009, at which time the court

notified plaintiff in writing that the action was deficient due to the failure to pay the filing fee

or furnish a completed and signed court-approved in forma pauperis application. Plaintiff was

advised that failure to pay the fee or file the application materials within thirty days would result

in dismissal of the action. Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee or file an in forma pauperis

application. The action is DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to pay the filing fee or

submit a completed in forma pauperis application. Plaintiff may file a new action, but should

include a filing fee or an in forma pauperis application with a new complaint to commence that

new action. 

Plaintiff sent the court a letter that appears to indicate he wanted his initial filing in this

case to be filed in another case, even though he had not marked the case number for the earlier

case on the document that the clerk assumed was intended to be a new action and even though

it did not list all the same defendants. Although the earlier case was originally filed as Case No.

C 09-3746 MHP in this district, it was transferred to the Eastern District, where it was filed as

Case No. 09-cv-3307-DAD. The clerk will send a copy of docket # 1 in this case to the Eastern
