 ORDER OF DISMISSAL

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION

HOWARD YOUNG,

Petitioner,

v.

M.D. BITER, 

Respondent. /

No. C 15-3970 RS (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Petitioner has failed to comply with the Court’s order to (1) file an application to

proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”), or (2) pay the filing fee of $5.00. 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, petitioner may move to reopen the action. Any motion to

reopen must contain (1) a properly completed IFP application, or (2) full payment for the

filing fee. 

His motion for an extension of time to file an IFP application (Docket No. 3) and his

motion for the appointment of counsel (Docket No. 4) are DENIED without prejudice. He

may refile his motion for counsel when he files a complete IFP application or pays the full

filing fee. The Clerk shall terminate Docket Nos. 3 and 4, enter judgment in favor of

respondent and close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: October 19, 2015
