UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ELADIER ZARATE,

Petitioner,

v.

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT,

Respondent.

Case No. 15-cv-4367-PJH 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Eladier Zarate, a federal prisoner, filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus on 

September 23, 2015. However, he did not pay the filing fee or complete the In Forma 

Pauperis (“IFP”) affidavit at the time of filing. On October 19, 2015, petitioner was sent a 

notice that he had not completed the IFP affidavit, and was sent another IFP application. 

Nevertheless, he did not complete and return the application. 

On November 25, 2015, the court issued an order to show cause, advising 

petitioner that, no later than December 16, 2015, he must either pay the fee or submit the 

completed IFP application, or show cause why the court should not dismiss the petition 

for failure to pay the filing fee.

The time period has passed, and petitioner has not filed a completed IFP 

application or paid the filing fee. Accordingly, the petition is DENIED, and the action is 

DISMISSED without prejudice. No fee is due. The clerk shall close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 18, 2015
