Christian v. New York City Commissioner of Department of Social Services John Doe
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK BRYAN CHRISTIAN, Plaintiff, -against- 22-CV-0535 (LTS) NEW YORK CITY COMMISSIONER OF ORDER OF DISMISSAL DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES JOHN DOE, Defendant. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated January 21, 2022, the Court directed Plaintiff, within thirty days, to submit a completed request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP application”) or pay the $402.00 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 an IFP application or paid the fees. Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed without prejudice. See
28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915. 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). The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff and note service on the docket. SO ORDERED. Dated: February 23, 2022 New York, New York
