Joseph v. Edwards ( 2020 )

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK CHRISTOPHER JOSEPH, Plaintiff, -against- 20-CV-7412 (CM) EDWARDS; C.O. PERALTA; CAPTAIN ORDER OF DISMISSAL COLON; VALERO, Defendants. COLLEEN McMAHON, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated October 14, 2020, the Court directed Plaintiff, within thirty days, to submit an amended request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) or pay the $400.00 in fees required to file a civil action in this Court. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not filed an amended IFP application or paid the fees. Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed without prejudice. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915. The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff and note service on the docket. 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). SO ORDERED. Dated: December 11, 2020 New York, New York hie. Iu Hk Chief United States District Judge
