IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 14-cv-01012-BNB
CLAY O. WORTH,
Plaintiff,
v.
[NO NAMED DEFENDANT],
Defendants.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff, Clay O. Worth, resides in Lakewood, Colorado. He initiated this action
by filing pro se a Letter with the Court indicating an intent to sue unidentified defendants
concerning medical over-billing and, possibly, the denial of appropriate medical care.
On April 9, 2014, Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland reviewed the submitted
document and determined that it was deficient. Magistrate Judge Boland directed the
Plaintiff, within thirty (30 days), to submit his claims on the court-approved Complaint
form. Magistrate Judge Boland also instructed the Plaintiff to submit a Motion and
Affidavit for Leave to Proceed Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, on the court-approved
form, within thirty (30) days, or, in the alternative, to pay the $400.00 filing fee. (See
ECF No. 3). Magistrate Judge Boland warned Plaintiff in the April 9 Order that failure to
cure the deficiencies noted would result in dismissal of this action without further notice.
Plaintiff has now failed to comply with the April 9 Order. Indeed, Plaintiff has not
communicated with the Court since this action was initiated on April 7, 2014.

Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to Rule
41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for the failure of Plaintiff, Clay O. Worth, to
comply with the April 9, 2014 Order Directing Plaintiff to Cure Deficiencies. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is
denied for the purpose of appeal. 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. See
Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438 (1962). If either Plaintiff files a notice of
appeal he must also pay the full $505 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.
