UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRANK RAMIREZ,

Petitioner,

v.

DEAN BORDERS,

Respondent.

Case No. 19-cv-04212-HSG 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Petitioner, an inmate at California Institute for Men, filed an application in the Ninth 

Circuit Court of Appeals to file a second or successive 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition in this Court. 

See Dkt. No. 1. On July 18, 2019, the Ninth Circuit denied the application as unnecessary on the 

grounds that petitioner is challenging the denial of a petition for resentencing, and such challenge 

may be filed without obtaining prior authorization. Id. The Ninth Circuit transferred the 

application to this Court to be processed as a section 2254 petition, and the Court docketed it as 

such on July 23, 2019. Id. That same day, the Clerk of the Court informed petitioner that this 

action was deficient because he had not paid the $5 filing fee or submitted a complete in forma 

pauperis application. Dkt. No. 2. Petitioner was instructed to respond by August 30, 2019. Dkt. 

No. 2. The deadline has passed, and petitioner has neither paid the filing fee nor submitted a 

completed in forma pauperis application. Nor has petitioner otherwise communicated with the 

Court.

United States District Court

Northern District of California

The Court therefore DISMISSES this action without prejudice. Because this dismissal is 

without prejudice, petitioner may move to reopen this action. Any such motion must be 

accompanied by either the filing fee or a complete in forma pauperis application. The Clerk shall 

enter judgment and close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: 9/23/2019
