Cochran v. Producer & Manager of "Pop Smoke"

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

JOSEPH MELVIN COCHRAN,

Plaintiff,

21-CV-7470 (LTS) -against-

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

PRODUCER & MANAGER OF POP SMOKE

Real Name: Johnathan Smoke,

Defendant.

LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge:

By order dated September 7, 2021, the Court directed Plaintiff, within thirty days, to submit a completed 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 a prisoner authorization or prepaid the fees. Accordingly, the complaint is 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: October 8, 2021
