Song v. Columbia University

District Court, S.D. New York

Song v. Columbia University

Trial Court Opinion

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK EUGENIA SONG, Plaintiff, -against- 23-CV-4532 (LTS) COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY; PETER ORDER OF DISMISSAL COLEMAN OF TEACHERS COLLEGE, Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated June 1, 2023, the Court directed Plaintiff to either pay the $402.00 in fees that are required to file a civil action in this court or to proceed without prepayment of the filing fees submit a completed request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) within thirty days. On July 6, 2023, the order was returned to the Court with a notation on the envelope indicating that the address was insufficient, and the mail was undeliverable to that address. Plaintiff has not complied with the Court’s order, has failed to notify the Court of a change of mailing address, and has not initiated any further contact with the Court, written or otherwise. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s complaint, filed IFP pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(a)(1), 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 enter judgment in this case.

SO ORDERED. Dated: July 27, 2023 New York, New York
