UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
IN RE DOMINGUEZ,
Petitioner.
Case No. 26-cv-08412-EKL
ORDER DISMISSING MATTER
WITHOUT PREJUDICE
On August 7, 2026, Petitioner Dominguez, a pro se prisoner, mailed a letter to the Court.
ECF No. 1. In an abundance of caution, the Court opened a federal habeas corpus case on his
behalf. On that same date, the Clerk of the Court sent Dominguez a notice informing him that his
action could not go forward until he paid the filing fee or filed a completed an in forma pauperis
(“IFP”) application. ECF No. 3. The notice warned Dominguez that failure to do so within
28 days would result in dismissal of his action without prejudice. Id. More than 28 days have
passed, and Dominguez has not paid the filing fee or returned the completed IFP application in
this matter. Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The Clerk shall
close the file.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
