Civil Action No. 13-cv-00183-BNB
RICK D. ALLEE,
Plaintiff,
v.
[NO DEFENDANTS NAMED],
Defendants.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff, Rick D. Allee, is an inmate in the Randall County Jail in Amarillo, Texas.
Mr. Allee initiated this action by filing pro se a letter to the Court (ECF No. 1)
complaining about police brutality in Amarillo and apparently seeking judicial relief in this
Court. On January 25, 2013, Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland entered an order
directing Mr. Allee to cure certain deficiencies if he wished to pursue any claims in this
Court. Specifically, Magistrate Judge Boland ordered Mr. Allee to file a Prisoner
Complaint and either to pay the $350.00 filing fee or to file a properly supported
Prisoner’s Motion and Affidavit for Leave to Proceed Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Mr.
Allee was warned that the action would be dismissed without further notice if he failed to
cure the deficiencies within thirty days.
Mr. Allee has failed to cure the deficiencies within the time allowed and he has
failed to respond in any way to Magistrate Judge Boland’s January 25 order. Therefore,
the action will be dismissed without prejudice for failure to cure the deficiencies.

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 action is dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Rule 41(b)
of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure because Mr. Allee failed to cure the deficiencies
as directed. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is
denied without prejudice to the filing of a motion seeking leave to proceed in forma
pauperis on appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
