RICHARD GOODFACE, Plaintiff, v. [NO DEFENDANT NAMED], Defendant.

LEWIS T. BABCOCK

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff, Richard Goodface, initiated this action by filing pro se a letter alleging that his constitutional rights have been violated and stating that he is trying to file a complaint against the Colorado Department of Corrections. This civil action was commenced and, on May 22, 2014, Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland entered an order directing Mr. Goodface to cure certain deficiencies if he wished to pursue any claims. Specifically, Magistrate Judge Boland directed Mr. Goodface to file on the proper form a Prisoner Complaint and either to pay filing and administrative fees totaling $400.00 or to file a properly supported Prisoner's Motion and Affidavit for Leave to Proceed Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Mr. Goodface was warned that the action would be dismissed without further notice if he failed to cure the deficiencies within thirty days.

Mr. Goodface has failed to cure the deficiencies within the time allowed and he has failed to respond in any way to Magistrate Judge Boland's May 22 order. Therefore, the action will be dismissed without prejudice for failure to 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 action is dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure because Mr. Goodface failed to cure the deficiencies as directed. It is

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.

DATED at Denver, Colorado, this 27^th day of June, 2014.
