Tabassam v. Westchester County Taxi & Limousine Commission

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK MOHAMMAD TABASSAM, Plaintiff, 1:21-CV-7658 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL WESTCHESTER COUNTY TAXI & LIMOUSINE COMMISSION, Defendant. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By orders dated September 14, 2021, the Court directed Plaintiff, within 30 days, to (1) submit an amended in forma pauperis (IFP) application or pay the $402.00 in fees required to file a civil action in this court, and (2) resubmit the signature page of his complaint with his original signature. Both orders specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of this action. Plaintiff has not filed an amended IFP application, paid the fees, or resubmitted the signature page of his complaint with an original signature. Accordingly, the Court dismisses this action without prejudice. See

28 U.S.C. §§ 1914

, 1915; Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). Plaintiff has consented to electronic service of court documents. (ECF 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 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: November 16, 2021 New York, New York
