Grajales v. Lilly
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK JOSE GRAJALES, Plaintiff, 23-CV-2493 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL ELI LILLY AND COMPANY, et al., Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: On March 24, 2023, Plaintiff filed a complaint and partially paid the $402.00 in fees required to file a civil action in this court by submitting a money order in the amount of $350.00, and coins totaling three cents. By order dated April 6, 2023, the Court directed: (1) Plaintiff to pay the full $402.00 in fees using an acceptable payment method; and (2) the Clerk of Court to return to Plaintiff the money order, as well as issue him a check for three cents. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not paid the fees. Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed without prejudice. See
28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915. All other pending matters in this case are terminated. 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. 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: June 7, 2023 New York, New York
