Hollie v. Denver Health

Filing 7

ORDER dismissing this action without prejudice, and denying leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, by Judge Lewis T. Babcock on 11/6/14. (dkals, )

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO

Civil Action No. 14-cv-02646-BNB
TEDDY HOLLIE,
Plaintiff,
v.
DENVER HEALTH, Patient Advocate,
Defendant.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff, Teddy Hollie, submitted pro se a Prisoner Complaint (ECF No. 1)
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1343 and 42 U.S.C. § 1983. As part of the Court’s review
pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 8.1(b), the Court determined that the complaint was
deficient. On September 25, 2014, Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland entered an order
(ECF No. 3) directing Plaintiff within thirty days to submit a Prisoner’s Motion and
Affidavit for Leave to Proceed Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. The September 25 order
warned him that if he failed to cure the designated deficiencies within thirty days, the
action may be dismissed without further notice.
On October 6, 2014, the copy of the September 25 order that was mailed to
Plaintiff was returned to the Court as undeliverable. (See ECF Nos. 4 and 6).
Mr. Hollie has now failed within the time allowed to cure the designated
deficiencies, file a notice of change of address as required by D.C.COLO.LCivR 11.1(d),
or otherwise communicate with the Court in any way. Therefore, the Complaint and the
action will be dismissed without prejudice for Plaintiff’s failures (1) to cure the
designated deficiencies as directed within the time allowed and (2) failure to prosecute.

Finally, the Court certifies pursuant to § 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 Mr. Hollie files a notice of appeal he also must pay the full $505.00 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 (ECF No. 1) and the action are dismissed without
prejudice pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for the failure of
Plaintiff, Teddy Hollie, to cure the deficiencies designated in the order to cure of
September 25, 2014 (ECF No. 3), within the time allowed, and for his failure to
prosecute. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is
denied. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that any pending motions are denied as moot.
