United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL A. LOCKHART,

Plaintiff,

v.

ALAMEDA COUNTY COURT, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-04055-WHO (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff Lockhart sent a letter to the Court complaining about several matters. 

Because a letter cannot initiate a legal action, the Court sent a Clerk’s Notice advising him 

to file a complaint on the proper form by August 22, 2019. Plaintiff has failed to comply 

with the Clerk’s Notice. Accordingly, the action is DISMISSED (without prejudice) for 

failing to comply with the Clerk’s Notice and for failing to prosecute, see Federal Rule of 

Civil Procedure 41(b).

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

such motion must contain a complaint on this Court’s form. 

The Clerk shall enter judgment in favor of defendants and close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 4, 2019
