ORDER OF DISMISSAL
Plaintiff, Zachary Louis Marner, initiated this action by filing pro se a Complaint
(ECF No. 1) on September 10, 2015. On September 15, 2015, Magistrate Judge
Gordon P. Gallagher entered an order directing Mr. Marner to cure certain deficiencies if
he wished to pursue his claims. (ECF No. 3). Specifically, Magistrate Judge Gallagher
directed Mr. Marner to either pay the filing fee or submit an Application to Proceed in
District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs. Additionally, Magistrate Judge
Gallagher directed Mr. Marner to file his complaint on the current court-approved form
as required by the local rules for the District of Colorado and that the names in the
caption should match the names in the text of the Complaint. Mr. Marner was warned
that the action would be dismissed without further notice if he failed to cure the
deficiencies within thirty days.
1
In response, Mr. Marner filed two Applications to Proceed in District Court
Without Prepayment of Fees or Costs (Long Form) (ECF Nos. 4 and 5). However, he
failed to file a complaint on the current court-approved form. On October 26, 2015,
Magistrate Judge Gallagher issued a Second Order to Cure Deficiencies and directed
Mr. Marner to file a complaint on the current court-approved form and that the names in
the caption of the complaint should match the names in the text of the complaint. Mr.
Marner was again warned that if he failed to cure the designated deficiencies within
twenty-one days, the action would be dismissed without further notice.
Mr. Marner has failed to cure the deficiencies within the time allowed and he has
failed to respond in any way to Magistrate Judge Gallagher’s October 26, 2015 order.
Therefore, the action will be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute and
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 $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. 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 because Mr.
Marner failed to prosecute and cure the deficiencies as directed. It is
2
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. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that the Applications to Proceed in District Court Without
Prepayment of Fees or Costs (Long Form) (ECF Nos. 4 and 5) are DENIED as moot.
DATED at Denver, Colorado, this
19th
