IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 15-cv-02773-GPG
JOSE RICARDO SARABIA-MARTINEZ, #521284,
Applicant,
v.
THE HONORABLE JUDGE LAFF,
1st ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL ROBERT SHAPIRO, and
DENVER DISTRICT ATTORNEY LARA MULLINS,
Respondents.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Applicant Jose Ricardo Sarabia-Martinez is detained at the Denver County Jail in
Denver, Colorado. Applicant initiated this action by filing pro se a Motion to for a Writ of
Habeas Corpus, ECF No. 1, and a Prisoner=s Motion and Affidavit for Leave to Proceed
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ' 1915, ECF No. 2. Applicant was granted leave to proceed
pursuant to ' 1915.
After reviewing the Motion, an order was entered an order on December 23, 2015,
that directed Applicant to file an amended application. The Order found that Applicant
failed to comply with Fed. R. Civ. P. 8 and Rule 4(c) of the Rules Governing Section 2254
Cases in the United States District Courts. Specifically, Applicant failed to specify all the
grounds for relief and state the facts supporting each ground. Applicant was directed to
set forth each claim in a simple, concise, and direct manner and to present his claims in a
manageable format in an amended application.

1

Applicant was warned that this action would be dismissed without further notice if
he failed to comply within thirty days. Applicant now has failed to comply within the time
allowed. Therefore, the action 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
Applicant 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 Application is denied and the action is dismissed without
prejudice pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b) for failure to comply with a Court order and for
failure to prosecute. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is
denied.
FURTHER ORDERED that no certificate of appealability shall issue because
Applicant has failed to show that jurists of reason would find it debatable that the district
court was correct in its procedural ruling. See Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484-85
(2000).
