RONALD G. TURNER, Plaintiff, v. DENIS McDONOUGH, SECRETARY, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS, et al., Defendants.
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On September 13, 2022, the Court denied Plaintiff leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) and ordered him to pay the $402.00 in fees to bring this action within 30 days. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not paid the fees. Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed without prejudice. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915.
The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962) (holding that an appellant demonstrates good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue).
The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment in this case.
SO ORDERED.
