NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAYMOND WRIGHT,

Plaintiff,

v.

W.L. MUNIZ,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-01910-JST (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

This action was opened when plaintiff sent a declaration to the Court complaining that he 

was being denied “milestone credits,” which would advance his release date. In an effort to 

protect his rights, a new action was opened and the declaration was filed on April 29, 2015. Dkt. 

1. Plaintiff was informed that he had not filed a complaint, and was given 28 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), and was given 28 days to either pay the fee or file the application.

Although plaintiff submitted an IFP application, he also sent a response in which he stated 

that he had not intended to file a new civil action. Dkt. 4. Rather, according to the response, 

plaintiff intended to file the declaration in his pending habeas action, Wright v. Muniz, case 

number 15-cv-1600 HSG (PR), but he was unable to provide the Court with a case number 

because it had just recently been transferred from the United States District Court for the Eastern 

District of California. Plaintiff has also filed a “supplemental declaration.” Dkt. 5

United States District Court

Northern District of California

In light of plaintiff’s response clarifying that he had not intended to file a new civil action, 

this action is DISMISSED. No fee is due because the action was opened in error. The Clerk is 

instructed to file docket numbers 1 and 5 of these proceedings in case number 15-cv-1600 HSG 

(PR). The Clerk shall also administratively terminate plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed IFP 

(dkt. 6) and close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 20, 2015
