Scott v. Tonkin

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK TONIA’ SCOTT, Plaintiff, 21-CV-1306 (CM) ~against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL RAYMOND TONKIN, et al., UNDER 28 U.S.C. § 1651 Defendants.

COLLEEN McMAHON, Chief United States District Judge: On June 20, 2017, the Court barred Plaintiff from filing any new action in forma pauperis (IFP) without first obtaining from the Court leave to file. See Scott v. New York State Dep t of Motor Vehicles, ECF 1:17-CV-3517, 6 (S.D.N.Y. June 20, 2017). Plaintiff files this new pro se action and seeks IFP status. Plaintiff did not submit with her proposed complaint an application for leave to file this action, as the Court’s June 20, 2017 order requires. The Court therefore dismisses this case without prejudice for failure to comply with the June 20, 2017 order.

The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff and note service on the docket. The Clerk of Court is further instructed to close this action.

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. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962).

SO ORDERED.
