ORDER OF DISMISSAL
On January 17, 2012, Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland entered an order
granting Plaintiff leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 in this
action. Pursuant to § 1915(b)(1), Magistrate Judge Boland ordered Plaintiff to either
pay an initial partial filing fee or show cause why he has no assets and no means by
which to pay the initial partial filing fee. Plaintiff was warned that the complaint and the
action would be dismissed without further notice if he failed either to pay the initial
partial filing fee or to show cause within thirty days.
Plaintiff has failed within the time allowed either to pay the initial partial filing fee
or to show cause why he is unable to pay the initial partial filing fee. In fact, Plaintiff has
failed to respond to Magistrate Judge Boland’s January 17 order in any way. Therefore,
the complaint and the action will be dismissed.
Furthermore, the Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any
appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith and therefore in forma pauperis
status will be denied for the purpose of appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369
U.S. 438 (1962). If Plaintiff files a notice of appeal he also must pay the full $455
appellate filing fee or file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis in the United States
Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit within thirty days in accordance with Fed. R. App.
P. 24. 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 because Plaintiff failed
within the time allowed to comply with a court order directing him either to pay the initial
partial filing fee or to show cause why he has no assets and no means by which to pay
the initial partial filing fee. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is
denied.
