ROSLYNN R. MAUSKOPF, United States District Judge.
Plaintiff, Edwin Fernandez, filed this pro se action on August 13, 2012 alleging the
deprivation of his civil rights in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 by defendant employees of Health
and Human Services. (Compl. (Doc. No. 1); Amended Compl. (Doc. No. 4).) By Order dated
September 20, 2012, plaintiff was denied permission to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1915, and directed to either (1) submit an amended IFP application; or (2) pay the
statutory filing fee of $350.00 within fourteen (14) days of the Court’s Order. (Doc. No. 5.)
Plaintiff was further advised that failure to do so would result in the dismissal of his complaint.
More than 14 days have elapsed, and plaintiff has failed to respond to the Court’s Order.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED, that the action is hereby dismissed without prejudice. The
Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (a)(3) that any appeal from this order and the
accompanying judgment would not be taken in good faith. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S.
438, 444–45 (1962). The Clerk of Court is directed to mail to plaintiff a copy of this Order and the
accompanying Civil Judgment which will be docketed separately, and close the file.
SO ORDERED.
