Defendants. ------------------------------------------------------------------X ROSLYNN R. MAUSKOPF, United States District Judge.

Plaintiffs filed this action alleging, among other things, that that defendants conspired to post and preserve defamatory comments on a Reddit.com forum about plaintiffs’ mobile massage business in order to benefit a competing mobile massage business in which defendants had a financial interest. By Memorandum and Order dated January 11, 2021, the Court granted plaintiffs’ request to proceed in forma pauperis, dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim, and granted plaintiffs leave to amend within 30 days from the date of the Order. The Court also warned plaintiffs that if they failed to file an amended complaint within 30 days, judgment dismissing this action would enter for failure to state a claim pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(e)(2)(B)(ii). More than 30 days have elapsed and plaintiff has failed to file an amended complaint. Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to enter judgment. 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 purpose of an appeal. Coppedge v. United States,

369 U.S. 438

, 444–45 (1962). SO ORDERED.
