United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HAROLD B. BROOKS,

Petitioner,

v.

R. FOX, Warden,

Respondent.

Case No. 16-cv-06418-HSG (PR) 

ORDER REOPENING ACTION; 

GRANTING APPLICATION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

Re: Dkt. No. 10

This habeas action was dismissed without prejudice on December 29, 2016 because 

petitioner failed to complete the court’s form habeas petition and an in forma pauperis (“IFP”) 

application. On May 14, 2018, petitioner filed the necessary documents, which the court 

construes as a motion to reopen. So construed, the motion is granted, and the action is 

REOPENED. The Clerk is directed to modify the docket accordingly. The order of dismissal 

(Dkt. No. 7) and the judgment (Dkt. No. 8) are VACATED.

Petitioner’s application to proceed IFP is GRANTED. The petition will be reviewed in a 

separate order.

This order terminates Dkt. No. 10.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
