Velez v. Kennedy
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK DIANE VELEZ, Plaintiff, -against- 23-CV-6660 (LTS) ARIANNA KENNEDY; HON. LAUREN T. ORDER OF DISMISSAL BRODERICK; TYESHA WILLIAMS; SIDNEY ROUSSE, Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated September 5, 2023, the Court directed Plaintiff to file an amended complaint within sixty days. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint. Accordingly, the complaint, filed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) under
28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1), is dismissed for the reasons stated in the Court’s September 5, 2023 order. 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: November 20, 2023 New York, New York
