UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

In Re

JAMES G. MARLOW, 

Plaintiff.

___________________________________/

No. C-15-1397 EMC (pr)

AMENDED ORDER OF DISMISSAL

This action was opened on March 26, 2015, when the Court received from James G. Marlow

a letter concerning his prison conditions. On that date, the Court notified Mr. Marlow in writing that

his action was deficient in that he had not attached a complaint and had not filed an in forma

pauperis application. The Court further notified him that this action would be dismissed if he did

not submit a complaint and pay the fee or submit an in forma pauperis application within twentyeight days. On May 13, 2015, the Court dismissed the action without prejudice for failure to submit

a pleading showing the Court has subject matter jurisdiction. Docket # 6. That order and

accompanying judgment had erroneous reasoning, however, because a complaint had been filed (but

had not been delivered to the undersigned) before the action was dismissed. Dismissal is

nonetheless required for a different reason: Mr. Marlow failed to pay the filing fee or file a

completed in forma pauperis application, despite having been notified on March 26, 2015 that his

action would be dismissed if he did not pay the filing fee or submit a completed in forma pauperis
