Mendoza v. FDIC ( 2024 )

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK KAREN G. MENDOZA, Plaintiff, 23-CV-11285 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL FDIC – FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION, Defendant. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated January 11, 2024, the Court directed Plaintiff, within 30 days, to resubmit her request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) with an original signature. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of this action. Plaintiff has not submitted a signed IFP application. Accordingly, the Court dismisses this action without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a); 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. Dated: March 5, 2024 New York, New York /s/ Laura Taylor Swain LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN Chief United States District Judge
