KENNETH OLIVER OWENS,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF MENLO PARK POLICE 

DEPARTMENT,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-03638-JD 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Re: Dkt. No. 2

This case was opened when plaintiff submitted a civil complaint cover letter to the Court. 

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 submitted a complete application 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. 

More than twenty-eight days has passed and while plaintiff has submitted a complaint, he 

has not paid the filing fee or filed an application to proceed IFP. Therefore, this case is 

DISMISSED without prejudice and the incomplete motion to proceed IFP (Docket No. 2) is 

DENIED. No fee is due. The Clerk shall close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 30, 2016
