Civil Action No. 13-cv-00649-BNB
04-22-2013
MUSTAPHA D.R. TORAIN, Plaintiff, v. SHERIFF DEPUTY GONZALES, SHERIFF DEPUTY ANGERS, SHERIFF DEPUTY HARRIS, and SHERIFF SGT. GIOSO, Defendants.
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
Plaintiff, Mustapha D.R. Torain, is an inmate at the Denver County Jail in Denver, Colorado. Mr. Torain initiated this action by filing pro se a Prisoner Complaint. On March 15, 2013, Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland entered an order directing Mr. Torain to file an amended complaint that clarifies who he is suing and that complies with the pleading requirements of Rule 8 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Mr. Torain was warned that the action would be dismissed without further notice if he failed to file an amended complaint within thirty days.
Mr. Torain has failed to file an amended complaint within the time allowed and has failed to respond in any way to Magistrate Judge Boland's March 15 order. Therefore, the action will be dismissed without prejudice for failure to comply with a court order.
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 $455 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 Prisoner Complaint and the action are dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure because Mr. Anderson failed to comply with a court order. 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 22nd day of April, 2013.
