<p>I sent Bitcoin to someone who promised to pay me in cash personally once he received the Bitcoin in his BitPay wallet. But once he got the Bitcoin, I  never got paid by him. Is there anyway I can do something about this matter?</p>

Sorry for your loss. This is why you need a trusted third party (e.g., coinbase.com) when exchanging a digital coin like Bitcoin for some real-world coin like US dollars. Are you sure they received the coins? Is going to the police an option?
