Persaud v. Department of Corrections

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK RAMPERSAUD PERSAUD, Plaintiff, 20-CV-9491 (CM) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL COMMISSIONER CYNTHIA BRANN, et al., Defendants. COLLEEN McMAHON, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated November 16, 2020, the Court directed Plaintiff, within thirty days, to submit a completed request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP application”) and prisoner authorization 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 IFP application and prisoner authorization or paid the fees. Accordingly, the complaint 1s 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: January 7, 2021 New York, New York hie l Wek COLLEEN McMAHON Chief United States District Judge

' On December 1, 2020, the filing fees required to file a federal civil action increased to $402.00 — a $350.00 filing fee plus a $52.00 administrative fee. Because Plaintiff’s action was filed prior to December 1, 2020, the increased filing fees do not apply to this action.
