IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 13-cv-01204-BNB
JOHN JOSEPH ROCHE,
Plaintiff,
v.
LINCOLN COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY,
ALLAN SHORT,
SUE KUHL, and
STEVEN LASECKE,
Defendants.
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
Plaintiff, John Joseph Roche, currently resides in Aurora, Colorado. Mr. Roche,
acting pro se, initiated this action by submitting to the Court a wrongful termination
Complaint. Mr. Roche paid the $400.00 filing fee. On May 8, 2013, Magistrate Judge
Boyd N. Boland directed Mr. Roche to cure certain deficiencies if he wished to pursue
his claims. Specifically, Magistrate Judge Boland ordered Mr. Roche to submit his
claims on a Court-approved form and to state his claims in a short and concise
statement, the jurisdiction for his claims, and the addresses for each named defendants.
Mr. Roche was warned that the action would be dismissed without further notice if he
failed to cure the deficiencies within thirty days.
The Court has reviewed the Complaint Mr. Roche submitted to the Court. The
Court agrees that Mr. Roche is required to submit his claims on a Court-approved form,
pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR8.1A., and has failed to state his claims in a short and
concise manner and the jurisdiction for his claims. Although Magistrate Judge Boland
granted Mr. Roche an extension until June 21, 2013, to cure the deficiencies, he now
has failed to comply with the May 8, 2013 Order within the time allowed. The Court,
therefore, will dismiss the action.
Finally, the Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ยง 1915(a)(3) that any appeal
from this Order is not 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 Mr. Roche files a notice of appeal he 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 Fed. R. Civ.
P. 41(b) for failure to cure the deficiencies within the time allowed. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is
denied.
DATED at Denver, Colorado, this 25th
