NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD C. DAVIDSON,

Petitioner,

v.

ERIC ARNOLD,

Respondent.

Case No. 16-cv-03298-JCS (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

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

proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”), or (2) pay the full filing fee of $5.00. Accordingly, the 

action is DISMISSED without prejudice for failing to respond to the Court’s order, and for 

failure to prosecute, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).1 

Because this dismissal is without prejudice, petitioner may move to reopen the 

action. Any such motion must contain (1) a complete IFP application; or (2) full payment 

for the filing fee of $5.00. 

The Clerk shall enter judgment in favor of respondent, and close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: July 26, 2016

1

Petitioner consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction. (Docket No. 2.) The magistrate 

judge, then, has jurisdiction to decide this motion, even though respondent has not been 

served or consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction. See Neals v. Norwood, 59 F.3d 530, 

532 (5th Cir. 1995)
