Alldredge v. Trump

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK JOSEPH ALLDREDGE, Petitioner, 23-CV-4308 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL DONALD JOHN TRUMP, Respondent. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated May 26, 2023, the Court directed Petitioner to either pay the $402.00 in fees that are required to file a civil action in this court or submit a completed request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) and prisoner authorization within 30 days. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the petition for a writ of mandamus. Petitioner has not paid the filing fees or filed an IFP application and prisoner authorization. Accordingly, the petition 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: August 3, 2023 New York, New York
