Torres v. The Blackstone Group ( 2024 )

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK WILFREDO TORRES, Plaintiff, 24-CV-1291 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL THE BLACKSTONE GROUP, UNDER 28 U.S.C. § 1651 Defendant. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: On January 23, 2024, Plaintiff was barred from filing any new action in forma pauperis (“IFP”) without first obtaining from the Court leave to file. See Torres v. Blackstone Group, ECF 1:23-CV-7832, 6 (LTS) (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 24, 2024). Plaintiff files this new pro se case, seeks IFP status, and has not sought leave from the Court. The Court therefore dismisses the action without prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the January 23, 2024 order. The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff and note service on the docket. 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 IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). The Clerk of Court also is directed to enter judgment in this action. SO ORDERED. Dated: March 6, 2024 New York, New York /s/ Laura Taylor Swain LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN Chief United States District Judge
