ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff, David Hover, is a prisoner in the custody of the Colorado Department of
Corrections who currently is incarcerated at the correctional facility in Sterling,
Colorado. Mr. Hover filed pro se a prisoner complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1343, 42
U.S.C. § 1983, and 18 U.S.C. § 1514(a) for money damages and injunctive relief. He
was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915.
On September 26, 2011, Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland ordered Mr. Hover to
submit within thirty days an amended complaint that (1) did not assert jurisdiction
pursuant to criminal statutes because private citizens cannot prosecute criminal actions,
(2) complied with the pleading requirements of Rule 8 of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure, and (3) alleged the personal participation of each named defendant. The

September 26 order directed Mr. Hover to obtain the Court-approved Prisoner
Complaint form, with the assistance of his case manager or his prison facility’s legal
assistant, and the applicable instructions at www.cod.uscourts.gov. The September 26
order also warned Mr. Hoover that, if he failed to file an amended complaint as directed
within the time allowed, the complaint and the action would be dismissed without further
notice.
Mr. Hover has failed, within the time allowed, to file an amended complaint as
directed or otherwise to communicate with the Court in any way. Therefore, the
complaint and the action will be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.
41(b) for failure to comply with a Court order and file an amended complaint as directed
within the time allowed, and for failure to prosecute.
Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that the complaint and the action are dismissed without prejudice
pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for the failure of Plaintiff,
David Hover, within the time allowed to file an amended complaint as directed in the
order of September 26, 2011, and for his failure to prosecute.
DATED at Denver, Colorado, this 3rd day of

November

, 2011.
