Onatolu v. Universal Life Product
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ADEKUNLE A. ONATOLU, Plaintiff, 21-CV-2930 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL UNIVERSAL LIFE PRODUCT, UNDER
28 U.S.C. § 1651Defendant. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: On July 9, 2015, Plaintiff was barred from filing any new action in forma pauperis (IFP), that is, without prepayment of fees, without first obtaining from the Court leave to file. See Onatolu v. U.S. Army, ECF 1:15-CV-2829, 4 (S.D.N.Y. July 9, 2015). Plaintiff files this new pro se case and seeks IFP status, but has not sought leave from the Court to file this action.1 This action is therefore dismissed without prejudice because Plaintiff failed to comply with the July 9, 2015 order. 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 IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States,
369 U.S. 438, 444-45(1962). SO ORDERED. Dated: April 19, 2021 New York, New York
/s/ Laura Taylor Swain LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN Chief United States District Judge
1 Plaintiff also attaches to his complaint a notice of motion, a declaration, a notice of appeal, and a motion for leave to proceed IFP on appeal. (ECF 2 at 8-18.) The Court need not address these documents as there is no prior order from which to appeal and in light of the dismissal of this action.
