NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DARRELL D. FOLEY,

Plaintiff, No. C 06-7294 PJH

v. ORDER OF DISMISSAL

TOM BATES, et al.,

Defendants.

_______________________________/

Pro se plaintiff Darrell D. Foley filed this action on November 27, 2006, alleging eight

causes of action: (1) intentional infliction of emotional distress; (2) negligent infliction of

emotional distress; (3) violation(s) of 42 U.S.C. § 1983; (4) abuse of process; (5)

violation(s) of the Fourteenth Amendment; (6) violation(s) of the Fourth Amendment; (7)

violation(s) of the First Amendment; and (8) violation(s) of the Fifth Amendment. He also

requested leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). On March 30, 2007, the court

dismissed the complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e), and denied the IFP request. 

The dismissal was with leave to amend. The order advised plaintiff that if he failed

to file an amended complaint by April 30, 2007 , the court would dismiss the case. The

court having considered the five factors set forth in Malone v. United States Postal Service,

833 F.2d 128, 130 (9th Cir. 1987), and having determined that notwithstanding the public

policy favoring the disposition of actions on their merits, the court's need to manage its

docket and the public interest in the expeditious resolution of the litigation require dismissal

of this action. In view of plaintiff's lack of response to this court's prior order, the court finds

there is no appropriate less drastic sanction. Accordingly, this action is dismissed with
