UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION

DON LAFLAMME,

Petitioner,

v.

MATTHEW L. CATE, and 

WARDEN LIZARRAGA, 

Respondents. /

No. C 15-3439 RS (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Petitioner has failed to comply with the Court’s order to (1) file an application to

proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”), or (2) pay the filing fee of $5.00. His application lacks

two necessary documents: a Certificate of Funds signed by an authorized prison officer, and

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

Accordingly, this habeas action is DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to respond to

the Court’s order and for failure to prosecute under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). 

Because this dismissal is without prejudice, petitioner may move to reopen the action. Any

motion to reopen must contain (1) a properly completed IFP application, which contains the

two documents listed above, or (2) full payment for the filing fee. His IFP application

(Docket No. 4) is DENIED as insufficient.
