United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MATTHEW TIMOTHY ALEXANDER,

Petitioner,

v.

WARDEN,

Respondent.

Case No. 16-cv-02685-JST (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

In a notice dated May 18, 2016, the Clerk of the Court directed Petitioner to complete an in 

forma pauperis (IFP) application, or pay the filing fee of $5.00, within 28 days, or face dismissal 

of the action. More than 28 days have passed and Petitioner has not filed a complete IFP 

application or paid the filing fee. 

The Court notes that Petitioner is housed at Coalinga State Hospital. There is insufficient 

information in the record to determine the reason for Petitioner’s custody at Coalinga for the Court 

to determine whether he is exempt from the Prison Litigation Reform Act as a non-prisoner. 

However, regardless whether a petitioner is a prisoner or a non-prisoner, the court needs accurate 

information about his financial wherewithal to decide whether pauper status is appropriate. 

Accordingly, the action is DISMISSED without prejudice. Any motion to reopen the 

action must contain a complete IFP application or full payment of the $5.00 filing fee. 

The Clerk shall close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 5, 2016
