KAUFMAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-01158-JD 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

This case was opened when plaintiff wrote a letter to the Court about prison conditions. In 

an effort to protect his rights, it was filed as a new case. Plaintiff was advised that he needed to 

file a formal complaint and was given twenty-eight days to do so. He also was sent a notice that 

he had not paid the filing fee or applied for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”); again, he 

was allowed twenty-eight days to either pay the fee or file the application. A copy of the court’s 

form for applications to proceed IFP was provided with the notice, along with a return envelope. 

Plaintiff has sent a letter to the Court indicating that he did not intend to file a new case. 

This case is therefore DISMISSED without prejudice. No fee is due. The clerk shall close the 

file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
