Okeefe v. Department of Corrections

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK NICHOLAS OKEEFE, Plaintiff, 23-CV-6388 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; NEW YORK CITY; UNNAMED PERSONS, Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated August 28, 2023, the Court directed Plaintiff to file an amended complaint within 60 days. (ECF 5.) 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 failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted. See

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(e)(2)(B)(ii). 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: December 1, 2023 New York, New York
