IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 13-cv-01624-BNB
IMAM-MUHAMMAD MUSTAFA ABDULLAH,
Plaintiff,
v.
WARDEN BERKEBILE,
UNIT MANAGER RENGAL,
COUNSELOR FOSTER, and
CASE MANAGER HAWITT,
Defendants.
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
Plaintiff Imam-Muhammad Abdullah is in the custody of the United States Bureau
of Prisons and currently is incarcerated at ADX in Florence, Colorado. Plaintiff, acting
pro se, initiated this action by filing a pleading titled, “Writ of Mandamus.” In an order
entered on June 22, 2013, Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland instructed Plaintiff to file
his claims on a Court-approved form used in filing prisoner complaints. Magistrate
Judge Boland also instructed Plaintiff either to pay the $400.00 filing fee or to submit a
Prisoner’s Motion and Affidavit for Leave to Proceed Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 form.
Magistrate Judge Boland warned Plaintiff that the action would be dismissed
without further notice if he failed to cure the deficiencies within thirty days. Plaintiff has
failed to communicate with the Court and now has failed to comply with the June 22
Order within the time allowed. The action, therefore, will be dismissed.
The Court also certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 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 Plaintiff 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 Complaint and action are dismissed without prejudice
pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b) for failure to cure all deficiencies and for failure to
prosecute. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is
denied.
DATED at Denver, Colorado, this 5th day of
August , 2013.
BY THE COURT:
