Wood v. Purdue Pharmasutical Company

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

SHANE M.WOOD,

Plaintiff,

21-CV-6447 (LTS) -against-

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

PERDUE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY,

Defendant.

LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge:

By order dated August 27, 2021, the Court directed Plaintiff to file an amended complaint within sixty days. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint. Accordingly, the complaint, filed in forma pauperis (IFP) under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1), is dismissed under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii).

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: December 1, 2021
