United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GERROD HERNDON,

Plaintiff,

v.

NAPA STATE HOSPITAL,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-04948-HSG (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff has failed to comply with the Court’s order to (1) file a complete application to 

proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”), or (2) pay the filing fee of $400.00. His application lacks two 

necessary documents: a Certificate of Funds signed by an authorized prison officer (the one 

submitted was not signed), 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, plaintiff 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 applications (Docket Nos. 

6, 11) are DENIED as insufficient.

The Clerk shall terminate Docket Nos. 6 and 11, enter judgment in favor of defendant and 

close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:

HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, JR.
