UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FLOYD SCOTT,

Plaintiff,

 vs.

G. LAUBER, et al., 

Defendants. /

No. C 05-4355 PJH (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, has another case before this court, C 05-0111 PJH (PR). 

In that case the court denied his motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”)

because he has had three or more IFP cases dismissed as frivolous, malicious, or for

failure to state a claim. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) (prisoner who has had three or more IFP

cases dismissed may not proceed IFP). Plaintiff then paid the filing fee. The court

erroneously dismissed the case, not having noted that he had paid the fee, but has now

reopened it. 

This case is a duplicate of C 05-0111 PJH (PR). Plaintiff apparently filed it when it

appeared the other case would not proceed. Because the other case has now been

reopened, this case is DISMISSED without prejudice. Plaintiff’s motions for leave to

proceed in forma pauperis (docs 2 & 5) are DENIED. No fee is due. His motions to “show

cause” why his filing fee for the other case should not be applied to this one (docs 4 & 6)

are DENIED as moot. The clerk shall close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 13, 2006.
