IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 15-cv-02229-GPG
SAI,
Plaintiff,
v.
TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (TSA),
Defendants.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff Sai currently resides in Wilmington, Delaware. Plaintiff initiated this
action by filing pro se a Motion for CM/ECF Access for Case Initiation, ECF No. 1, in
which he states in a footnote on page one that he intends to file a Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) claim. On October 9, 2015, Magistrate Judge Gordon P. Gallagher entered
an order that construed the action as filed pursuant to FOIA and directed Plaintiff to
submit his claims on a Court-approved form used in filing pro se complaints and either to
submit a request to proceed without payment of a filing fee on an Application to Proceed
in District Court Without Prepaying Fees and Costs ' 1915 or in the alternative to pay the
$400 filing fee in full. Plaintiff was warned that the action would be dismissed without
further notice if he failed to cure the deficiencies within thirty days.
Plaintiff now has failed to communicate with the Court, and as a result, he has
failed to cure the deficiencies within the time allowed. The Court, therefore, will dismiss
the action.

Finally, the Court 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 $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 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.
