UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

In Re SHAWNCEY BLAKE,

Plaintiff.

Case No. 15-cv-03738-HSG (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On August 17, 2015, the Clerk filed as a new prisoner action a letter from plaintiff 

complaining of civil rights violations at the Santa Clara County Jail. On that same date, the court 

notified plaintiff in writing that the action was deficient because he did not file an actual complaint 

or pay the requisite filing fee or, instead, submit a signed and completed court-approved in forma 

pauperis application. Plaintiff was advised that failure to file the requested items within 28 days 

would result in dismissal of the action.

Plaintiff instead has filed a response explaining that he did not intend his original letter to 

be filed as a new action in this court. Good cause appearing, the case is DISMISSED without 

prejudice. The Clerk is instructed to close this matter as improvidently opened. No filing fee is 

due.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:
