Brathwaite v. Zimmerman

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK MITCHELL BRATHWAITE, Plaintiff, 1:23-CV-1365 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL JEFFREY ZIMMERMAN (JUDGE) works DMC 161 Bx 11-15-2021, Defendant. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated May 5, 2023, the Court granted Plaintiff, who appears pro se, 60 days’ leave to file an amended complaint. That order specified that failure to respond would result in dismissal of this action, and that the Court would dismiss Plaintiff’s claims under federal law for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted and decline to consider, under the Court’s supplemental jurisdiction, Plaintiff’s claims under state law. Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint. Accordingly, the Court dismisses this action. The Court dismisses Plaintiff’s claims under federal law for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, see

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(e)(2)(B)(ii), and declines to consider, under the Court’s supplemental jurisdiction, Plaintiff’s claims under state law, see

28 U.S.C. § 1367

(c)(3). 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 Court directs the Clerk of Court to enter judgment in this action. SO ORDERED. Dated: August 15, 2023 New York, New York
