IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN PORTIS,

Plaintiff, 

 v.

Correctional Officer ALVAREZ;

Lieutenant ERIC EVANS; and

Correctional Officer FETUS, 

Defendants. /

No. C 07-5285 WHA (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

This civil rights case was opened when plaintiff mailed to the court a complaint on the

court’s form, captioned as above. Plaintiff has another case here with the same parties, C 07-

2807 WHA (PR), Portis v. Evans. The complaint in that case was dismissed with leave to

amend in an order entered on July 23, 2007. The time to amend was extended to September 28,

2007. The document which has been treated as commencing this case was filed on October 17,

2007, and the signature on it is dated September 21, 2007. Attached to the complaint are copies

of the Court’s order dismissing C 07-2807 WHA (PR) with leave to amend, among other

exhibits.

Despite the Court’s instruction to plaintiff to put the words “Amended Complaint” on

the front of his amendment, he did not do so and thus the amended complaint was

understandably treated as commencing a new case. This case is DISMISSED as opened in error. 

No fee is due.
