United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ELIGIO RUIZ ORTIZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-03821-WHO (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Dkt. No. 2

Plaintiff Eligio Ortiz failed to comply with the Court’s order to (1) file a complete 

application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”), or (2) pay the filing fee of $400.00. His 

IFP application (Dkt. No. 2) lacks several pages of the form, is unsigned, and does not 

include a Certificate of Funds nor a prison trust account statement. Accordingly, this 

federal civil rights 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). Because this 

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

must contain a complete IFP application, or full payment for the $400.00 filing fee. 

Ortiz’s IFP application (Dkt. No. 2) is DENIED as insufficient. 

The Clerk shall terminate Dkt. No. 2, enter judgment in favor of defendant, and 

close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 16, 2016
