Keita v. Chase Bank
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK MOHAMMED KEITA; MK, JR., Plaintiffs, -against- 23-CV-7155 (LTS) CHASE BANK also known as JP MORGAN BAR ORDER UNDER CHASE BANK N.A.; NEHA GOPINATH,
28 U.S.C. § 1651Escalation Supervisor; NAJIA HOSSAIN, Officer, Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: Plaintiff filed this action pro se. On August 28, 2023, the Court dismissed the action for improper venue, noted that Plaintiff had filed seven other actions in this court, all of which have been transferred to the United States District Court for Eastern District of New York, and that in the Eastern District, Plaintiff has been described as a “serial litigator.” (ECF No. 5.) The Court therefore ordered Plaintiff, within thirty days, to show cause by declaration why he should not be barred from filing further actions in forma pauperis (“IFP”) in this court without prior permission. Plaintiff has not filed a declaration as directed. Accordingly, the bar order will issue. CONCLUSION The Court hereby bars Plaintiff from filing future civil actions IFP in this court without first obtaining from the court leave to file. See
28 U.S.C. § 1651. Plaintiff must attach a copy of his proposed complaint and a copy of this order to any motion seeking leave to file. The motion must be filed with the Pro Se Intake Unit of this court. If Plaintiff violates this order and files an action without filing a motion for leave to file, the action will be dismissed for failure to comply with this order. Plaintiff is further warned that the submission of frivolous documents in this action may result in the imposition of additional sanctions, including monetary penalties. See
id.The Clerk of Court is directed to close this action and terminate any motions in this case. 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 action. SO ORDERED. Dated: October 11, 2023 New York, New York
