On May 6, 2021, plaintiff responded pro se to defendants’ motion to dismiss the AC. Because plaintiff has already responded to defendants’ motion to dismiss, her request for the appointment of pro bono counsel to do the same is DENIED as moot. To the extent plaintiff requests the appointment of pro bono counsel to assist her more generally in this action, the Court, if appropriate, will consider such request after it decides defendants’ motion to dismiss the AC. The Clerk is instructed to terminate the motion. (Doc. #45). 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 in forma pauperis status is denied for the purposes of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). Chambers will mail a copy of this Order to plaintiff at the address on the docket. Dated: May 12, 2021 White Plains, NY .
