United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICKEY LOUIS ALFORD,

Plaintiff,

v.

SUPREME COURT STATE OF 

CALIFORNIA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-04543-JST 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On August 5, 2019, Plaintiff filed this pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§

1981, 1983. ECF No. 1. That same, the Court informed Plaintiff that this action was deficient 

because he had not paid the $400 filing fee or submitted a complete in forma pauperis application. 

ECF No. 2. Plaintiff was instructed to respond by September 12, 2019. ECF No. 2. The deadline 

has passed, and plaintiff has neither paid the filing fee nor submitted a completed in forma 

pauperis application. The Court therefore DISMISSES this action without prejudice. Because 

this dismissal is without prejudice, plaintiff may move to reopen the action. Any such motion 

must contain a complete in forma pauperis application, i.e., an application with the required 

certified copy of the plaintiff’s inmate trust account statement for the last six months. The Clerk 

shall enter judgment and close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 17, 2019
