UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK TERENCE WADE BANKS, Plaintiff, 1:21-CV-1302 (JGK) -against- JAMES DILLION/DIMON, Ser ane Defendant.
JOHN G. KOELTL, United States District Judge: By order dated April 5, 2021, the Court dismissed this pro se action for lack of subject- matter jurisdiction. But the Court granted Plaintiff 30 days’ leave to file an amended complaint in which Plaintiff alleges facts that clearly show that the Court may exercise its subject-matter jurisdiction to consider his claims. On April 15, 2021, the Court received an amended complaint from Plaintiff, but it fails to allege sufficient facts to show that the Court may exercise its subject-matter jurisdiction to consider Plaintiffs claims. Plaintiff fails to allege any facts showing that the Court has federal-question jurisdiction or diversity jurisdiction over his claims. Accordingly, the Court dismisses this action for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3). CONCLUSION The Court directs the Clerk of Court to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff and note service on the docket. The Court dismisses this action for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3). 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 in forma pauperis 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: April 30, 2021 New York, New York CO | ( \ G. KOELTL Unitéd States District Judge
