UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NORMAN D. WICKS, SR., 

NORMAN D. WICKS, JR.,

Plaintiffs,

CASE NO. 07CV0691-LAB (RBB)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

vs.

CITY OF SAN DIEGO, STATE OF

CALIFORNIA, POLICE DEPARTMENT

OF SAN DIEGO, CAL.,

Defendants.

On June 26, 2007, the Court issued an order granting Plaintiffs’ request to proceed

in forma pauperis, and dismissing this action without prejudice. The order concluded that

the complaint did not state a claim, and sought money damages against immune

Defendants. The order directed Plaintiffs, if they wished to cure the defects it identified, to

do so by filing an amended complaint no more than thirty calendar days from the date than

the date the order was entered — i.e., July 26, 2007. That order also warned Plaintiffs that

if they failed to do so, this action could be dismissed with prejudice, without further notice to

them.

Plaintiffs have failed to amend their complaint as permitted. They are not

incarcerated, so as to entitle them to the benefit of the prisoner mailbox rule under Houston

v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266, 270 (1988).

For these reasons, this action is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: July 27, 2007

HONORABLE LARRY ALAN BURNS

United States District Judge
