Zawadzki v. Dept. of Justice
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK KRYST ZAWADZKI, Plaintiff, 22-CV-5767 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL DEPT. OF JUSTICE, Defendant. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: On July 5, 2022, the Court received this pro se action, purportedly brought by Kryst Zawadzki. Court records show that this action was actually filed by Young Yil Jo (“Jo”). See, e.g., Zawadzki v. INS or Dept. of Justice, ECF 1:21-CV-8272, 2 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 19, 2021) (noting that Jo had filed multiple lawsuits using Zawadzki’s name); see Zawadzki v. Dept. of Justice, ECF 1:22-CV-0165, 2 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 9, 2022) (same). Jo is barred from filing any document in this court in the name of another person, In re Young Yil Jo, ECF 1:14-7793, at 2 (S.D.N.Y. Jan 8, 2015), and from filing any new civil action or proceeding in this court without first obtaining leave of the court, In re Young Yil Jo, ECF 1:14- CV-7793, 3 (S.D.N.Y. May 6, 2015). Because the Court finds that this action was filed by Jo, the Court dismisses this action without prejudice to any civil action that Kryst Zawadzki may wish to bring. The Court advises Jo that the filing injunctions issued in In re Young Yil Jo, 1:14-CV- 7793 (S.D.N.Y.), remain in effect. These injunctions bar Jo from filing (1) any new civil action or proceeding in this court without first obtaining leave of the court and (2) any document in this court in the name of another person. Should Jo persist in filing civil actions in this court in the name of other persons, the Court may impose on him additional restrictions and sanctions. See
28 U.S.C. § 1651. CONCLUSION The Court dismisses this action without prejudice to any civil action that Kryst Zawadzki may wish to bring in the future.
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. See Coppedge v. United States,
369 U.S. 438, 444-45(1962). The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Young Yil Jo, at 1932 E. Washington Blvd., Pasadena, CA 91104, his address of record for In re Young Yil Jo, 1:14-CV- 7793, and note service on the docket. The Clerk of Court is also directed to mail a copy of this order to the address of Kryst Zawadzki listed on the docket of this action. SO ORDERED. Dated: July 7, 2022 New York, New York
