District Court, S.D. New York

Johnson v. Tunecore

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ROBERT W. JOHNSON, Plaintiff, 22-CV-6460 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL TUNECARE, et al., UNDER

28 U.S.C. § 1651

Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: On July 10, 2020, Plaintiff was barred from filing any new civil action in this court in forma pauperis (“IFP”) without first obtaining from the court leave to file. See Johnson v. Wolfe, ECF 1:19- CV-7337, 8 (S.D.N.Y. July 10, 2020), appeal dismissed, No. 21-299 (2d Cir. July 15, 2021). Plaintiff filed this new pro se action with an incomplete request to proceed IFP.1 Plaintiff has not, however, sought leave to file. The Court therefore dismisses this action without prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the court’s July 10, 2020, order. 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 enter judgment in this case. SO ORDERED. Dated: August 1, 2022 New York, New York
