JAMES JENTRELL WOODWARD, Plaintiff, v. ALAMEDA COUNTY NARCOTICS TASKFORCE, et al., Defendants.
ORDER OF DISMISSAL RE: ECF NO. 2
JON S. TIGAR United States District Judge.
Plaintiff commenced this action on or about November 3, 2022, by filing a complaint with this Court. ECF No. 1. That same day, the Clerk informed Plaintiff that the action was deficient because he had not filed a complete in forma pauperis application. ECF No. 4. Specifically, Plaintiff had not submitted the required supporting paperwork: a Certificate of Funds in Prisoner's Account completed and signed by an authorized officer at Plaintiff's correctional facility and a copy of his prisoner trust account statement showing transactions for the last six months. Id. The Court instructed Plaintiff to correct these deficiencies by December 1, 2022, or the action would be dismissed. Id. The Court sent Plaintiff a blank in forma pauperis application form and postage-paid return envelope. Id.
The deadline to file a complete application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis has passed. Plaintiff has neither filed the required documents nor communicated with the Court. Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED for failure to either pay the filing fee or file a complete in forma pauperis application. The dismissal is without prejudice to Plaintiff filing a motion to reopen the action. Any motion to reopen must be accompanied by either the filing fee or a complete in forma pauperis application. In light of the dismissal of this action, Plaintiff's request for injunctive relief, ECF No. 2, is DENIED as moot.
The Clerk shall enter judgment in favor of Defendants and against Plaintiff, and close the case.
This order terminates ECF No. 2.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
